โฆ Synopsis
The electronic states of a pair of vertically coupled quantum dots are calculated using spin density functional theory, where the tunneling between the dots is included. For small and large interdot distances Hund's rule determines the ground state, while for intermediate distances new phases are predicted. The number of intermediate phases increases with the total number of electrons in the coupled dots. These phases are expected to be observable in the addition energies.

We have studied injection lasers based on InGaAs/GaAs vertically coupled quantum dots (QD) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The threshold current density decreases by one order of magnitude down to 90 A cm -2 (300 K) with an increase of the number of QD stacks (N ) up to 10. For N โฅ 3 lasing occurs
We have investigated the polarization effect of optical process in the vertically coupled InGaAs quantum dot (QD) triple layers by varying the thickness of GaAs spacer layer. The transverse electric (TE)/transverse magnetic (TM) ratio for the ground state emission decreases from near 4 to 1.5 as the
