Abstract

The electron and hole energy levels in a typical `lens' shaped self assembled quantum dot (SAQD) were investigated using adiabatic approximation. In this adiabatic approximation, the Hamiltonian for the electrons can be separated into the direction perpendicular to the growth plane and a radial direction. The density of states is used to calculate optical gain and determine how the inhomogeneous broadening affects the properties of optoelectronic devices.
