Influence of anharmonic phonon damping and its interplay with the phonon dispersion is analyzed. The signatures of the zone-edge decay process in the absorption spectrum and time evolution are highlighted, providing a possible way of experimental investigation on phonon anharmonicity effects.10 pages, 2 figuresMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsExciton-LO-phonon dynamics in InAs/GaAs quantum dots: Effects of zone-edge phonon dampingtext
