5. Because of the low lateral confinement, the electron-phonon coupling is weak in the samples considered. As a consequence, we neglect the second-order process in which the emitted phonon is reabsorbed. For QDs in the strong coupling regime, where a full diagonalization of the Frölich Hamiltonian is in order to describe the polaron formation, see, for example, S. Hameau, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 4152 (1999); PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.83.4152
