30. Note that the Coulomb exchange in the scattering terms are neglected here since for our studies only a small reduction of the overall dephasing rate would take place, changing the results quantitatively but not qualitatively.

49. Note that the transparency point for the microscopic calculations and the RTA simulations differ somewhat because they yield different optical dephasing rates; in addition, the microscopic dephasing processes manifest in highly non-Lorentzian interband line shapes.
