On tile example of an explicitly solvable model of a semiconductor wit
h alloy disorder in the conduction band, it is shown that a slowly var
ying exciting light pulse can be treated in an adiabatic approximation
, that is, the self-energy of an electron can be taken as a continuous
ly evolving series of snapshots of sell-energies corresponding to a st
eady illumination with tile instantaneous value of the light strength.
