Abstract
Strongly confined quantum dots are believed to exhibit excellent laser properties (e.g., low threshold) because of the zerodimensional confinement of the oscillator strength in the quantized energy levels. However, a decreased carrier relaxation rate due to a phonon-bottleneck1 effect could prevent efficient operation of a quantum- dot laser.
