  The multi-excitonic decay process in a single InAs quantum dot is studied
through high-resolution time-resolved spectroscopy. A cascaded emission
sequence involving three spectral lines is seen that is described well over a
wide range of pump powers by a simple model. The measured biexcitonic decay
rate is about 1.5 times the single-exciton decay rate. This ratio suggests the
presence of selection rules, as well as a significant effect of the Coulomb
interaction on the biexcitonic wavefunction.
