8. Care has been taken to minimize local strain in the contact region.
9. Note that transition dipole moment along the direction normal to the quantum well plane is nonzero due to band mixing between heavy and light hole bands. Significant band mixing occurs when the exciton wave function involves large k states and especially when the exciton wave function is strongly localized by interface roughness.
