20. We neglected the wave-vector dependence of the coefficients driving nonlinear interactions as in the meanfield theory [11].
21. k assumed to be a slowly varying amplitude as compared to the rapid decay time of the memory kernel.

23. We observe that total gain is a better candidate than peak gain for comparison with experiments since it is less sensitive to disorder effects.
