40. Exciton transition energies and structure parameters, consistent with, and derived from measurements are as follows: Figs. 1 1 2: interdot distance d8.4nm, te, th =2.0,0.1meV, VF =0.08meV, and ΩT (B) =40μeV. Exciton bare energies: E X 01 01 =1248.01meV and E X 10 10 = E X 01 01 +10μeV. Figures 3 4: d∼8.25nm, te, th =2.1,0.12meV, VF =0.09meV, and ΩT (B) =140μeV. Biexciton bare energies: E X 02 02 =2492.85meV, E X 11 02 = E X 02 02 +17meV, and E X 20 11 = E X 11 02 -20μeV. Interband transition moments μT (B) =6.2e. Exciton-radiation couplings (controlled by the laser-pulse amplitude) are in the strong pumping regime, ΩT (B) τX, (XX). Exciton (biexciton) radiative recombination times τX (τXX) ∼1.0 (0.5) ns.
