The fully quantized electronic structure of self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) combined with their inhomogeneously broadened absorption characteristics has led to a number of proposals for their use in novel information storage devices utilizing both spatial and wavelength domains. In this contribution, we present the first demonstration of wavelength selective charge storage (electrons or holes) in InGaAs self-assembled QDs with direct optical read-out of the stored information in the spectral domain. Our results demonstrate unambiguously wavelength selective charging with long (much more than 25 µs) resonant data storage lifetimes and enable us to probe directly carrier excitation processes and potentially electron spin dynamics in sub-ensembles of semiconductor QDs.
