Abstract
The fine structure of the neutral exciton in a single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot is investigated under the effect of a lateral electric field. Stark shifts up to 1.5 meV, an increase in linewidth, and a decrease in photoluminescence intensity were observed due to the electric field. The authors show that the lateral electric field strongly affects the exciton fine-structure splitting due to active manipulation of the single particle wave functions. Remarkably, the splitting can be tuned over large values and through zero. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
