36. An analysis shows that after taking into account the first non-negligible correction to the Raman-Nath approximation, the atomic wave function just after the pulse has to be multiplied by a factor (Formula presented) Near the focal plane this factor can only lead to small changes of the atom wave function if (Formula presented)

38. The analysis of Ref. 28 can be generalized to an open system, where the excited state decays to many ground-state sublevels including (Formula presented)
39. Note that by fixing (Formula presented) we are not actually using the time (Formula presented) where the function (Formula presented) is a maximum when evaluating (Formula presented) The correction is small even for the largest value of (Formula presented) plotted.
