28. That no special dynamical effect is introduced by the 12 fs-FWHM turn-off part of (Latin small letter esh sign) is well demonstrated by the convergence of the time-dependent kinetic energy spectra of Fig. 3 toward the final spectrum (which is taken after the pulse is over), of Fig. 2. It is thus expected that with a longer turn-off, as is typical of experimentally achievable pulses, the dynamical situations described below will remain entirely valid.

33. Per fragments, the experimental kinetic energy spectra cover the range 0.6-1.5 eV. The relative kinetic energy of the dissociated molecular ion is twice that of a fragment.

36. ± + pℏω lies within the designated zone. Thus, any pair of Floquet levels in a given Brillouin zone is separated by a distance which can never exceed twice the photon energy.

38. -3 a.u. This displacement is due to the fact that, in the same zone where the state k = 0 has previously been identified (corresponding to some given n in the zeroth-order notation |v=0,n〉), it is the dressed state v=1,n - 2〉 and not |v=1,n〉 which represents this k = 1 resonance in zeroth order. Likewise, the abscissae of the subsequent panels of Fig. 12 have been shifted by 2mℏω to correctly position newly identified resonances with respect to the k = 0 Floquet states.
