A quantum cascade laser where the quantum wells in the active regions arereplaced by quantum dots with their atom-like discrete energy levels is aninteresting system to study novel features in optical spectroscopy. We studystructures suitable for diagonal lasing transitions in coupled dots, andvertical lasing transitions in a single dot, in the active regions of the laserdevice. The luminescence spectra as a function of electron number and dot sizeshow that for diagonal transitions, a significant amount of blue-shift in theemission spectra can be achieved by increasing electron population in thequantum dots as well as by decreasing the size of the dots.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
