Abstract

Vertically coupled InAs quantum dots have been synthesized by MBE through successive deposition of InAs dot sheets and thin GaAs spacers. The energy of ground state transition in PL spectra has been found to depend on a number of dot sheets and the spacer width. Injection laser based on vertically coupled quantum dots demonstrated lasing via the ground state of quantum dots in the entire 80K-300K temperature range. Lower threshold current density and wider range of the thermal stability of threshold current density as compared to the single sheet quantum dot laser have been observed.
