## Abstract We present high resolution modulation spectroscopy on single quantum dots and discuss briefly the differences to other spectroscopy techniques. We use this technique to study the excitonic fine structure while charging the quantum dot and applying mechanical strain to it. We also show t

β¦ Synopsis
We explore the full counting statistics of single electron tunneling through a quantum dot using a quantum point contact as noninvasive high bandwidth charge detector. The distribution of counted tunneling events is measured as a function of gate and source-drain-voltage for several consecutive electron numbers on the quantum dot. For bias voltages at which excited states become accessible we find a bimodal characteristic of the counting distribution. The bimodal distribution arises from a slow switching between different electron configurations on the dot. To characterize the switching process we analyze the time dependence of the number of electrons passing the dot in a given time.

We have investigated the properties of neutral and charged excitons in single CdSe/ZnSe QD photodiodes by m-photoluminescence spectroscopy. By applying a bias voltage, we have been able to control the number of electrons in a single QD by shifting the energy levels of the QD with respect to the Ferm
