The occurrence of non‐Lorentzian lineshapes is analyzed for a variety of nanooptical semiconductor systems such as quantum wells and quantum dots. Their origin is traced back to light–matter interaction (light propagation) and many‐particle correlations (electron–electron and electron–phonon interaction).
