21. Optical absorption on a single semiconductor quantum dot with a magnetic field applied in Voigt geometry The presented confocal setup in Voigt geometry allows studying the anisotropic magnetic
properties of single self-assembled quantum dots with high degree
of precision. The resonant optical pumping offers additionally a spin shelving scheme for the resident electron in the QD.
