Wavelength selective carrier storage in self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) is investigated. The small homogeneous broadening of the exciton transition of a single quantum dot is in high contrast to the large inhomogeneous broadening of the ground state transition energy of an ensemble of self-organized QDs. This benefit enables in addition to the spatially addressing wavelength parallel data storage in future memory devices. Here we analyze the data storage process in two-color photocurrent experiments and investigate the dependencies of the electric field, the temperature and the laser power.
