Some results in this paper differ superficially from those given here, because Lee and Albrecht defined the phase of the nonlinear polarization as the signed sum of the excitation pulse phases, and incorporated the phase of the susceptibility into the phase shift between the polarization and emitted field.

This experiment was based on signal intensity modulation with delay between a collinear pulse pair where the wave vector of the pulse pair appears only once in the signal wave vector. In all the other experiments discussed here, the wave vector of each pulse appears separately in the signal wave vector.

84. n(x) yields ∫ δo(x)θ(x)dx = 1/2. When improperly time-ordered diagrams are included, this evaluation of the δ-function integrals at discontinuities naturally leads to analytic results that agree with numerical integration over sufficiently short symmetric pulses. At T=0, these δ-function results differ from those given previously by us [36] and others. [41,60] For consistency, a limiting series of integrals could also be used to define the response function in terms of the polarization at discontinuities.
