N2 - Ground and multi excited state photoluminescence, as well as its temperature dependence, in InAs quantum dots embedded in symmetric In xGa1-xAs/GaAs (x0.15) quantum wells (DWELL) have been investigated. The solution of the set of rate equations for exciton dynamics (relaxation into QWs or QDs and thermal escape) solved by us earlier is used for analysis the variety of thermal activation energies of photoluminescence thermal quenching for ground and multi excited states of InAs QDs. The obtained solutions were used at the discussion of the variety of activation energies of PL thermal quenching in InAs QDs. It is revealed three different regimes of thermally activated quenching of the QD PL intensity. These three regimes were attributed to thermal escape of excitons: i) from the high energy excited states of InAs QDs into the WL with follows exciton re-localization; ii) from the InxGa1-xAs QWs into the GaAs barrier and iii) from the WL into the GaAs barrier with their subsequent nonradiative recombination in GaAs barrier.
