33. Note that the imaginary part of absorption vanishes if (Formula presented) which is physically correct. On the other hand, the absorption calculated with the averaged susceptibility [Eq. (7)] does not vanish in this limit, which signals that the phenomenological model of description of the inhomogeneous broadening (Ref. 13) we used cannot be applied in this limit. The criterion of validity of the model in this limit was a subject of a separate study [G. Malpuech and A. V. Kavokin, Semicond. Sci. Technol. (to be published)].
