15. We assume in this paper that the transition energy between E1 and E2 is the same as that between 1s states of E1-HH1 and E2-HH1. For experimental evidence see P. Vagos, et al. in Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1018 (1993).
16. Note that our assumption that the emission spectra are caused by populating the exciton states may not be valid at high-carrier densities, see M. Kira et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3263 (1998).

22. Note that this phenomenon competes with the fact that as sample temperature increases the radiative decay of excitons decreases.
