Absorption of single InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots is spatially resolved in resonance with the S to P polaron transitions around λ=25 μm wavelength. We show that the spatial resolution down to 50 nm (λ/500) combined with the analysis of the absorption nanoscopy images provides a measurement of the homogeneous broadening at room temperature. The 2.5±1 meV measured S-P homogeneous broadening supports the calculated value accounting for acoustic phonon-induced decoherence.
