We studied the increase with temperature of the excited-state homogeneous linewidth for different quantum dots. We found a correlation between the acoustic phonon broadening efficiency and the background intensity in the photoluminescence excitation spectra. These results demonstrate the interaction of the discrete quantum dot excited states with a quasicontinuum of states and impose severe limitations on the isolated artificial macroatom scheme for a single quantum dot. %G English %L hal-00546741 %U https://hal.science/hal-00546741 %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ ENS-PARIS %~ UPMC %~ LPA %~ CNRS %~ PSL %~ UPMC_POLE_2 %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ ENS-PSL %~ ALLIANCE-SU
