18. -1 from the PL spectra at small apertures. This density gives about 300 QDs within the resonance linewidth in a 25-μm aperture.

20. 2, peak is primarily due to interface phonons mixed with confined phonons [A. J. Shields, M. P. Chamberlain, M. Cardona, K. Eberl, Phys. Rev. B 51, 17728 (1995)].
21. The exciton is composed of an electron and a heavy hole, each of which has a spin degeneracy of 2. Of the four resulting combinations, only two are dipole-allowed and absorb or emit light. See, for example, H. W. van Kesteren, E. C. Cosman, W. A. J. A. van der Poel, C. T. Foxon, Phys. Rev. B 41, 5283 (1990).
22. The longitudinal field must be larger than the dipole fields from neighboring nuclei (5 G) and large enough such that the magnetic Zeeman energy is greater than fine structure splitting arising from deviations from cylindrical symmetry (0.2 T) (4, 5).
23. In the NMR measurements, the laser was tuned to the beginning of the 2D continuum about 10 meV above the QD spectral lines; therefore, a number of QDs were pumped simultaneously. The PL, however, probes individual QDs through the contact hyper-fine interaction, which is a local interaction (9).
