20. The reflectivity change is not precisely proportional to the exponentially weighted average of the quasiparticle density, see, for example, I. M. Fishman, C. D. Marshall, J. S. Meth, and M. D. Payer, J. Opt. Soc. Am. 8, 1880 (1981), for the exact expressions. However, we have found that the approximation used in the text is quite accurate and has the advantage of leading to analytical solutions to the bimolecular rate equation.
