7. The energy enters as E213 in the spontaneous emission rate. The extra term comes from the photon energy.

14. By assuming that the QW widths have a Gaussian distribution (which results in a Gaussian distribution of the energies), we found that the FWHM are compatible with a dispersion of the well widths of 1.4 Å for GaAs, 2.7 Å for GaInAs, and 2.8 Å for InAs.
