17. As discussed by R. P. Stanley, R. Houdré, C. Weisbuch, U. Oesterle, and M. Ilegems, Phys. Rev. B 53, 10995 (1996), there is a fine structure of the PL intensity near the zero detuning point, which we also observe, but which is not seen here because of the spacing of the stress points in this case. 10.1103/PhysRevB.53.10995
