Strong Franz–Keldysh oscillations were observed in the nonlinear reflection spectra ofheterostructures with InP self-assembled quantum dots. These oscillations manifest a built-inelectric field of about 30 kV/cm. We propose that this field originates from electric charge capturedby the intrinsic defects on the dot interface. The presence of acceptor-like intrinsic defect states isfound to be a general feature of the InP/InGaP interface but was not observed in other structureswith quantum dots such as InAs/GaAs
