The photoluminescence spectra of high-quality intrinsic semiconductors with a direct bandgap are usually dominated by the excitonic resonance. The spectra may also feature one or more additional lines, commonly referred to as phonon sidebands (PSBs), traced back to the phonon-assisted recombination. In theory, PSB luminescence is traditionally treated using a perturbative approach with excitons coupled directly to LO-phonons via polar Froehlich interaction. However, the many-body properties of the interacting carrier system yield a more complex picture. Already the luminescence at the main excitonic resonance does not necessarily require excitonic population. In addition, the Froehlich coupling is expected to be suppressed in case of the exciton-phonon interaction. Here, we study the time-resolved PSB emission of direct polar semiconductors and apply a microscopic many-body approach to analyze the experimental observations. Our results show that excitonic population is not required for the observation of PSBs.
