Energy Transfer in Multi-Stacked InAs Quantum Dots

We fabricated a modulated stacked quantum dot (QD) structure to investigate energy transfer among QDs using a strain compensation technique that allowed us to fabricate a vertically aligned, highly stacked structure without any degradation in crystal quality. Enhanced photoluminescence (PL) intensity for the ground state of large QDs was clearly observed in a sample where the ground state of small QDs was resonant to the first excited state of large QDs, indicating energy transfer from small QDs to large QDs. Long-range energy transfer reached approximately 200 nm and can be considered from the measurement of N dependence of PL intensity.
