We present a detailed study of the temperature dependence of the single quantum dot emission lineshape in strain free, GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots. In particular, we analyze the emission lineshape in terms of linewidth, peak energy and sidebands. These quantities are all connected with the nature of the electron-phonon interaction. We conclude that the line broadening in quantum dots is due to pure dephasing processes driven by GaAs-LO phonons. In addition, there is a lack of quantum size effect on the excitonic energy renormalization with the temperature. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

Abstract
We present a detailed study of the temperature dependence of the single quantum dot emission lineshape in strain free, GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots. In particular, we analyze the emission lineshape in terms of linewidth, peak energy and sidebands. These quantities are all connected with the nature of the electron-phonon interaction. We conclude that the line broadening in quantum dots is due to pure dephasing processes driven by GaAs-LO phonons. In addition, there is a lack of quantum size effect on the excitonic energy renormalization with the temperature. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
