We report on low-temperature micro-photoluminescence (mu-PL) measurements of InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) exposed to a lateral external electric field. It is demonstrated that the QDs PL signal could be increased several times by altering the external and/or the internal electric field, which could be changed by an additional infra-red laser. A model which accounts for an essentially faster lateral transport of the photo-excited carriers achived in an external electric field is employed to explain the observed effects. The results obtained suggest that the lateral electric fields play a major role for the dot luminescence intensity measured in our experiment - a finding which could be used to tailor the properties of QD-based optoelectronic applications.
