I will discuss electro/optical measurements of spin lifetimes of electrons [1] and holes [2] as well as the control and readout of a single spin in self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots embedded in GaAs based diode structures [3, 4, 5]. In addition the electric field tuning of the exciton g-factor [6, 7] and the asymmetric optical nuclear spin pumping in similar quantum dots [8] will be presented.
