The analysis of the influence of the electron confinement on the polaron energy and on the bipolaron binding energy [1] is extended to the case of quantum dots. The confinement in a quantum dot is described by a parabolic spherically symmetric potential. The Feynman variational principle is used. It is shown that the bipolaron binding energy as a function of the quantum dot radius has a maximum at the radii values of the order of the polaron radius. The problem of the absorption of a strong electromagnetic radiation in a quantum dot is timely due to the use of glasses with quantum dots as light filters. The multiphoton absorption coefficient is calculated for the main electron scattering mechanisms: on impurities, deformational, optical polar etc. It is shown that the dominating scattering mechanism changes with varying the quantum dot radius. This work is supported by NFWO, WOG (Belgium).
