We present a study of photoelectrical properties of the Stranski-Krastanow InAs quantum dots embedded in an InGaAs matrix with low In content, emitting at about 1.3μm. The ground-state electron-hole transition of the dots was investigated as a function of the temperature in presence of electric fields parallel and perpendicular to the plane of the dots by photocurrent spectroscopy. Microphotoluminescence measurements were also carried out, allowing us to evidence carrier capture from the GaAs matrix into the dots.
