Popis: Recently, tunnelling dynamics of electrons controlled by an electric field have been the focus of quantum dot electronic applications. This paper report electron and hole tunnelling phenomena in a single self-assembled quantum dot as a function of the applied electric field. The absorption spectroscopy is used to measure excitonic transitions under conditions where optical recombination can not be observed due to the high, ionizing, electric field. It shows that the tunnelling mechanisms are strongly dependent on the applied electric field. Hence the lifetime limited linewidth can be controlled directly by a gate voltage.
