We have calculated the optical absorption matrix elements for a spherical silicon quantum dot embedded in silicon dioxide with the addition of a parabolic potential which is used to tune the bound state energy levels. The photon absorption from the ground state to the excited states was calculated as a function of the parabolic potential curvature constant and the dot radius which varied between 2...
