Multiphonon processes in a model quantum dot (QD) containing two electronic states and several optical phonon modes are considered taking into account both intra- and inter-level terms. The Hamiltonian is exactly diagonalized including a finite number of multi-phonon processes, large enough as to guarantee that the result can be considered exact in the physically important region of energies. The physical properties are studied by calculating the electronic Green's function and the QD dielectric function. When both the intra- and inter-level interactions are included, the calculated spectra allow for explanation of several previously published experimental results obtained for spherical and self-assembled QDs, such as enhanced 2LO phonon replica in absorption spectra and up-converted photoluminescence. An explicit calculation of the spectral line shape due to intra-level interaction with a continuum of acoustic phonons is presented, where the multi-phonon processes also are shown to be important. It is pointed out that such an interaction, under certain conditions, can lead to relaxation in the otherwise stationary polaron system.
