The linear polarization dependence of photoluminescence emission was measur
ed on single self-assembled InP quantum dots. The dots were obtained by Str
anski-Krastanow growth on Ga0.5In0.5P. The highest-intensity emission occur
red for light polarized parallel to the elongation of the dots in agreement
with theoretical calculations. The excitation intensity was varied to obta
in the polarization dependence of higher (state-filled) levels.
