Near-field spectra of quantum well excitons with non-Markovian phonon   scattering
  The excitonic absorption spectrum for a disordered quantum well in presence of exciton-acoustic phonon interaction is treated beyond the Markov approximation. Realistic disorder exciton states are taken from a microscopic simulation, and the deformation potential interaction is implemented. The exciton Green's function is solved with a self energy in second order Born quality. The calculated spectra differ from a superposition of Lorentzian lineshapes by enhanced inter-peak absorption. This is a manifestation of pure dephasing which should be possible to measure in near-field experiments.
