We report MBE growth and properties of samples with self assembled quantum dots with single manganese ions and low density of quantum dots. Manganese concentration was calibrated using magneto-reflectivity measurements and the giant Zeeman effect in (Cd,Mn)Te and (Zn,Mn)Te layers. Successful incorporation of Mn in the CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots was confirmed using micro-photoluminescence measurements: single manganese ion in quantum dot manifests in sixfold splitting of exciton emission lines due to s, p-d exchange interaction.
