摘要
A photoluminescence study of the excitons localized in the quantum dots naturally formed by interface roughness in narrow GaAs quantum wells is presented. By reducing the number of dots probed in a resonant excitation measurement, we study the spectra of single quantum dots. Extremely narrow linewidths for both the ground and excited states are measured. With such narrow lines it is possible to measure the thermal broadening due to acoustic phonons.
