Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) used as active material in microresonators are currently of strong topical interest due to breakthroughs in growth and device structuring. From the theory side, however, atomic models are still used to analyse the emission from these semiconductor systems, despite known differences between QDs and atoms. We introduce a semiconductor laser theory based on a microscopic approach with the goal of better describing the characteristic behaviour of QD-based laser devices and to show differences from predictions based on atomic models.
