The talk addresses recent results on the fascinating effect of "non-resonant emitter-cavity coupling" which is observed as an unexpected pronounced cavity resonance emission even in strongly detuned single quantum dot (QD)-microcavity systems. This phenomenon is an indication of strong, complex light-matter interactions in solid-state systems, going beyond the predictions by the general Jaynes-Cummings interaction picture of a discrete two-level emitter and cavity system. We have studied the effect of non-resonant QD-cavity coupling from individual QDs in micropillars under resonant excitation, revealing a pronounced effect over positive and negative QD-mode detunings. Our results suggest a dominant role of phonon-mediated dephasing in dot-cavity coupling, giving a new perspective to the controversial discussions ongoing in the literature. Furthermore, non-resonant coupling is demonstrated as a versatile "monitoring" tool to investigate relevant QD s-shell emission properties and background-free photon statistics from individual QDs under purely resonant excitation.
