Abstract
A microscopic treatment of the influence of electron-hole-scattering on the optical dephasing and the lineshape in semiconductor gain media is presented. The calculations incorporate non-diagonal- and diagonal-scattering contributions to the optical polarisation. The strong compensation between both contributions leads to gain spectra, which are significantly modified in comparison to those obtained using a pure dephasing approximation.
