Comment on "Nonlinear photoluminescence spectra from a quantum dot-cavity system revisited" by Yao et al. and "Photoluminescence from Microcavities Strongly Coupled to Single Quantum Dots" by Ridolfo et al

TL;DR

This paper defends previous research on strong-coupling in quantum dot-cavity systems against criticisms, clarifying misunderstandings about incoherent pumping effects.

Contribution

It provides a rebuttal to critiques of earlier work, reaffirming the validity of their findings in the context of incoherent pumping.

Findings

Criticisms of previous work are addressed and refuted.

Strong-coupling phenomena are confirmed despite incoherent pumping.

Clarification of misconceptions in the field.

Abstract

We refute the criticisms of our work on strong-coupling in the presence of an incoherent pumping.
