Resonant laser scattering along with photon correlation measurements have established the atom-like character of quantum dots. Here, we present measurements which challenge this identification for a wide range of experimental parameters: the absorption lineshapes that we measure at magnetic fields exceeding 1 Tesla indicate that the nuclear spins polarize by an amount that ensures locking of the quantum dot resonances to the incident laser frequency. In contrast to earlier experiments, this nuclear spin polarization is bi-directional, allowing the electron+nuclear spin system to track the changes in laser frequency dynamically on both sides of the quantum dot resonance. Our measurements reveal that the confluence of the laser excitation and nuclear spin polarization suppresses the fluctuations in the resonant absorption signal. A master equation analysis shows narrowing of the nuclear Overhauser field variance, pointing to potential applications in quantum information processing.
