Results from the work of Bennett et al. describing the influence of a vertical electric field on the emission of InAs/GaAs QDs[22].(a) FSS of several QDs vs. the relative electric field F − F₀, where F₀is the field where the FSS of each QD reaches its minimum, s₀. (b) Orientation of the linear polarization of the emitted light with respect to the crystal axes vs. the relative electric field for the same QDs as presented in (a).
