25. The simulations do not exhibit monoexponential kinetics, due to the inclusion of inhomogeneous broadening and multiple exciton states in the calculations. However approximate decay times for the simulated data were obtained from crude monoexponential fits to the data, yielding decay time constants of 110 and 300 fs for the Isotropic and anisotropy data, respectively.
26. The experimental difference spectra over this spectral region are dominated by a negative feature resulting from ground state bleach and stimulated emission. Excited state absorption apparent at longer and shorter wavelengths than this feature is relatively weak and structureless.
