Semiconductor quantum-dots are quantum systems with typical three-dimensional size of a few nanometers. They are being explored for optoelectronic application such as a quantum- dot laser. The figure below shows the infrared laser emission (middle) at 1 = 1.28 µm from InAs quantum-dots. Also shown is an AFM image (left) indicating the size of the InAs quantum-dots.
