36. This is not a general fact, but it comes from the constant ratio between bottom base diameter and top base diameter assumed in the model, according to experimental data (Ref. 16). This in turn causes a constant ratio between the width of electron and hole wave functions and therefore a constant oscillator strength when only the base diameter is changed.
37. A figure of merit, which allows to optimize the interplay between biexcitonic shift and oscillator strength, was introduced in Ref. 27.
