Abstract

We investigate a charge storage device based on InGaAs quantum dots, that utilizes optical charge generation and readout of the stored charge distribution. A detailed analysis of the temporal evolution of the charge storage spectra is presented as a function of lattice temperature. Persistent (≫25 μs) wavelength selective storage of electrons is demonstrated for temperatures up to T=90 K. Resonantly stored holes are found to thermally redistribute among the quantum dot ensemble for T≥60 K over microsecond timescales. Our results provide new insight into the dynamics of resonantly stored charge and the temperature-induced modifications of the absorption process for self-assembled quantum dots.
