51. The advantage of using this configuration is that any instabilities which cause the OPA signal and idler pulse energies to drop also result in an increase in the residual energy of the 800-nm fundamental. Since the sum frequency process is bilinear in the energy of each input beam, the effects of the fluctuations tend to cancel resulting in an exceptionally stable output.

54. Our choice of the ∼500-nm excitation wavelength also helps to ensure that the build-up of photolysis products has little effect on the data because none of the long-lived species produced following excitation absorb at this wavelength.

58. The slower rise for 400-nm excitation is also consistent with the idea that detachment takes place only from the lowest CTTS state and that higher energy excitation requires a time-delay for non-adiabatic relaxation into the lowest state, as suggested by Sheu and Rossky in Ref. 7.

63. Several studies have indicated that the dynamics of the solvent response depend on the details of the change in charge distribution upon excitation; see, e.g., B. M. Ladanyi and M. Maroncelli, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 3204 (1998) or B. M. Ladanyi and R. M. Stratt, J. Phys. Chem. 100, 1266 (1996). This means that the solvation dynamics of the monopolar change in charge associated with the CTTS excitation of sodide could be quite different from those measured for the dipolar excitation of the coumarin dye studied in Ref. 33.
