26. As we showed in [15], detailed second order scattering terms introduce quantitative, albeit large, changes to the linewidth. But the dephasing rate approximation would not introduce qualitative changes to the intersubband absorption spectrum for GaAs. Therefore, the dephasing rate approximation is adequate and avoids unnecessary complications. Furthermore, the same rate is assumed for all transitions.
