The spectrally selective saturation of MBE-grown self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) is investigated. The QDs are embedded in p-i-n-structures allowing to control the electron and hole emission rates and, thus, the optical charging of resonantly excited QDs with one hole. The photocurrent spectrum reveals a sharp spectral hole at the energy of the laser excitation, since the absorption of the charged dots becomes non-resonant due to few-particle effects. The transition energy of the positively charged trion is blue shifted and leads to an enhanced photocurrent response on the high energy side of the spectral hole. The resonant excitation allows to resolve the acoustic phonon sidebands of the exciton transition. Temperature dependent measurements reveal a broadening and enhancement of the acoustic phonon sidebands.
