We use photoluminescence spectroscopy to investigate the ground state of single self-assembled InGaAs lateral quantum dot molecules. We apply a voltage along the growth direction that allows us to control the total charge occupancy of the quantum dot molecule. Using a combination of computational modeling and experimental analysis, we assign the observed discrete spectral lines to specific charge distributions. We explain the dynamic processes that lead to these charge configurations through electrical injection and optical generation. Our systemic analysis provides evidence of inter-dot tunneling of electrons as predicted in previous theoretical work.
