Abstract
Exciton fine structure in coupled quantum dots has been studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy in magnetic fields up to 8 T. Pronounced anticrossings and mixings of optically bright and dark states as functions of magnetic field are seen. A theoretical treatment of the mixing of the excitonic states has been developed, and it traces observed features to structural asymmetries. These results provide direct evidence for coherent coupling of excitons in quantum dot molecules.
