InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) with ordered structure, due to their peculiar properties, open new way to design novel semiconductor devices such as single-electron transistors or highly parallel computing architectures. The lateral quantum dot alignment achieved during the self-assembly process is not well understood heretofore. The reason is, that quantum structures are usually small and studied at low temperatures. Conversely, the Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) allows study nanometer details in the non-offensive manner, in the room temperature with high spatial and temporal resolution. The first results of near-field optical study on aligned QDs are presented.
