Abstract

We present an InAs QDs structure designed to separate and store photo-generated electron-hole pairs. Charge separation in the structure is demonstrated using power dependent photoluminescence and biased photoluminescence. Preliminary data from time resolved photoluminescence suggest storage times in the device in the μsec range.
