The investigated structures contain self-assembled laterally coupled InGaAs quantum dots embedded in a planar microcavity, which are grown using a combination of metal-organic vapor phase and molecular beam epitaxy. The individual quantum dot molecules (QDMs) consist of two single dots that are coupled along the [1-10] crystal direction via electron tunneling. The coupling strength and the ground and excited state energies of the QDMs can be manipulated applying a lateral electric field. A change in the relative intensities of the excitonic emission lines is observed in the photoluminesence (PL) spectra. PL excitation measurements were conducted using a wide-range tunable Ti:sapphire laser to obtain spectra of the excited QDM states as a function of electric field tuning. Pumping an excited exciton state (p-shell) at increasing pulse amplitudes leads to oscillatory behavior in the detected excitonic s-shell recombination. Special pulse amplitudes (π/2, π, etc.) can be extracted and used for subsequent coherent experiments.
