Popis: InSb-based self-assembled quantum dots are very promising for the midinfrared $(3\char21{}5\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\text{m})$ optical range. We have analyzed the effect of geometry and composition on the electronic structure and optical spectra of ${\text{InAs}}_{x}{\text{Sb}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}/\text{InAs}$ dots. The calculated transition energies agree well with the available experimental data. The results show that the geometry of the dot can be estimated from the optical spectra if the composition is known, and vice versa.
