10. There has been a large number of studies using the diffusion approximation. Using this approximation is numerically very efficient but forbids the existence of localized states. These studies thus cannot explain the interplay between extended and localized eigenstates.

19. Actually, the imaginary part of the eigenvalue differs by a factor 2 from the definition of the decay rate. The same factor 2 appears in the definition of the lasing threshold such that those two factors cancel. For ease of writing, we will in the following refer to γ as decay rate, not each time mentioning the factor 2.
