摘要: Carrier relaxation processes are investigated in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The quantum-dot rise time has been measured as functions of carrier excitation density and wavelengths. is about 32 ps at low decreases by 1 over the from 3 W/cm2, under nonresonant laser excitation. threshold this density-dependent regime occurs a slightly higher wavelength increases it disappears when photon pumping energy below wetting layer barrier energy. These results clearly establish where Auger become dominant mechanism these dots.
