The dependence of emission intensity from the tunnel split exciton states in InAs/GaAs quantum dot molecules on their energy separation is studied. Even at the smallest excitation powers luminescence from both states appears in the spectra, when the splitting is smaller than the optical phonon energy. When the splitting becomes larger, emission from the antibonding states is observed only when the systems are optically pumped resulting in Pauli-blocking effects. This demonstrates the existence of an acoustic phonon relaxation bottleneck.
