We study experimentally and theoretically excitonic recombination processes in CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. The single quantum dot photoluminescence spectrum was observed and emission lines from X, X-, X+ and 2X excitonic states were identified. Experimental results were analysed in the theoretical model based on the effective mass approximation. Numerical calculations of energy positions and recombination probabilities of X, X-, X+ and 2X were performed. Computed results reproduce correctly the order and relative positions of emission lines and ratios of radiative lifetimes.
