Direct and phonon-mediated channels of optical excitation are studied on a single isolated site-controlled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD). The nucleation site was precisely defined by a distant buried stressor formed by controlled partial oxidation of a sandwiched AlGaAs layer as part of a mesa structure.
Above a sub-micrometer aperture we observe sharp luminescences lines, originating from a single QD as demonstrated by autocorrelation measurements. Micro photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy shows efficient excitation channels through hybridization with the wetting layer, excited states, and coupling with phonon modes as well as distinctively different photoluminescence spectra for different excitation energies. Excitation power dependent measurements reveal the saturation behavior of excitonic and high excitation luminescence lines.
