Super-intense highly anisotropic optical transitions in anisotropic quantum dots

Coulomb interaction among electrons is found to have profound effects on the electronic properties of anisotropic quantum dots in a perpendicular external magnetic field, and in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. This is more evident in optical transitions, which we find in this system to be highly anisotropic and super-intense, in particular, for large values of the anisotropy parameter.
