27. Although we have emphasized intrinsic potential asymmetries in self-assembled QR's (or type II dots), there are other alternatives. The QR can be fabricated by etching technology which allows the incorporation of top metallic gates. In such etched systems, a voltage applied to the metallic gate in the center of a QR may result in a tunable dipole moment for excitons.
