We present an introduction to the semiconductor nanostructures known as self-assembled quantum dots, which are a promising source of light for the next generation of optical devices. We describe shortly the main ways to obtain these structures, their physical properties and their applications. Then we present the concept of photonic crystal structures, the ways that are commonly used to...
