sample Solid Immersion Lens (SIL) • To look at a small area on sample surface laser luminescence (S.Mansfield and G.Kino et al.,App. Phy. Lett. 57, 2615 (1990)) Hemispherical SIL (LAFN9 glass n=1.83) Resolution~400nm • SIL with index of refraction nwill reduce laser spot size by factor of n • Increase collection efficiency (due to increase of numerical aperture and reduce of total internal reflection) APS Meeting 2005 - Los Angeles

Conclusions • Studied single magnetic and non-magnetic QDs grown by new technique • Non-magnetic dots: show dependence of exciton g*-factor on emission energy (g* changes from -4 to -1.9) • Magnetic quantum dots exhibit much larger energy splitting (g*=41) (due to sp-d exchange interaction) • Magnetic dots: large line-width due to the fluctuation of Mn+ ions APS Meeting 2005 - Los Angeles
