The excitation intensity dependent photoluminescence spectra of variou
s modulation-doped InAs/GaAs quantum dots exhibit the band filling and
band-gap renormalization. From the time-resolved photoluminescence sp
ectra, in addition to the interaction of the carriers in quantum dots
with the remote ionized impurities in a GaAs barrier, the screening du
e to the two-dimensional charges is found to mainly affect the carrier
lifetime in the modulation-doped quantum dots. (C) 1997 American Inst
