Abstract
We developed a model to calculate the electrorefraction due to the Quantum Confined
Stark Effect in strained cylindrical QDs. We followed a numerical matrix diagonalization
method using an expansion in plane-wave states. The correct polarization dependence is
obtained by using the 4X4 Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian for the valence band. The exciton
wavefunction is also calculated using a diagonalization approach. We will present the
absorption spectra as a function of applied electric field and dot dimensions and discuss
the implications for the electrorefraction.
