We assess inhomogeneous and homogeneous broadenings in the transition spectral lineshape. The impact of phonons on the homogeneous dephasing is inferred via the temperature dependence of the dephasing. Four-wave mixing mapping, combined with atomic force microscopy, reveals spatial correlations between exciton oscillator strength, inhomogeneous broadening and the sample morphology. The quality of the coherent optical response of epitaxially grown transition metal dichalcogenides now becomes comparable to the samples produced by mechanical exfoliation, enabling the coherent nonlinear spectroscopy of innovative materials, like magnetic layers or Janus semiconductors.
