Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 083601 (2008) [4 pages]Strong Coupling of Quantum Dots in MicrocavitiesReceived 11 November 2007; published 22 August 2008 We show that strong coupling (SC) of light and matter as it is realized with quantum dots in microcavities differs substantially from the paradigm of atoms in optical cavities. The type of pumping used in semiconductors yields new criteria to achieve SC, with situations where the pump hinders, or on the contrary, favors it. We analyze one of the seminal experimental observation of SC of a quantum dot in a pillar microcavity [ Reithmaier et al. Nature (London) 432 197 (2004)] as an illustration of our main statements. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
