摘要：

We investigate the energy levels of self-assembled InAs GaAs quantum (lot stacks by photoluminescence and vertical photocurrent spectroscopy. This leads to a photodetector with two response peaks at 55 and 253 meV due to interdot and dot-continuum transitions. Two samples are used for the investigations: one without and one with AlAs barriers between the dot layers to restrict the vertical current. These barriers have a strong influence oil the signal height Of the room temperature photoluminescence. They make-due to the lower dark current and lower noise-the interdot transitions visible in photocurrent spectroscopy and increase the dot-continuum photocurrent energy by the amount of the first miniband energy level of the AlAs GaAs superlattice.
