Using a microscopic theory, the second-rung resonance is analyzed and optimum excitation conditions are determined. The computed photon-statistics spectrum displays gigantic, experimentally robust resonances at the energetic positions of the second-rung emission.4 pages, 2 figuresQuantum PhysicsCharacterization of strong light-matter coupling in semiconductor quantum-dot microcavities via photon-statistics spectroscopytext
