50. Here we consider only one term, which is proportional to e-i ωpr t, for the complex conjugate term the calculation is analogous.

53. These modifications have no general nature: they depend on many different parameters, particularly, on details of sample optical excitation and should be considered separately for each QD ensemble. In addition the modification of the electron spin precession frequency by the nuclei requires some time and should not affect the FR, KR and ellipticity signals during long times of nuclear spin dynamics. The light induced nuclear polarization also can be eliminated by the microwave field.
