Trapped carrier dynamics in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been studied using terahertz activated luminescence. This technique enabled us to isolate the luminescence emitted by the trapped carriers from the photoluminescence due to interband excitation. Trapped carriers having long lifetimes ~ 250 ns at 8 K were observed. Temperature dependence of the trapped carrier lifetime was measured. Activation energy for the trapped carrier decay rate was found to be close to the intersublevel transition energy of the QDs.
