We propose a quantum-dot version of the quantum-well cascade laser of Faist et al. [Science {\bf 264}, 553 (1994)]. The elimination of single phonon decays by the three-dimensional confinement implies a several order-of-magnitude reduction…

Pyramidal quantum dots (QDs) grown in inverted recesses have demonstrated over the years an extraordinary uniformity, high spectral purity and strong design versatility. We discuss recent results, also in view of the Stranski-Krastanow…

III-V colloidal quantum dots are widely studied for their applications as detectors and emitters from visible to short-wave infrared. They might also be used in the mid-infrared if they can be stably n-doped to access their intraband…
