Abstract

Using contactless photoreflectance at 300 K we have studied several GaAs/Ga_0.7Al_0.3As quantum dot arrays fabricated by reactive-ion etching using SiCl₄. The spectrum from a control sample that had no dots also was recorded. From the observed shifts of the fundamental conduction to heavy- and light-hole quantum transitions we have evaluated the magnitude and nature of the process-induced strain in the dots.
