12. Fiber temporal stretching of the UV pulses has been neglected since the pulses are quite long (10 ns) and the absorption cross section of the cage changes only slightly with the time scale of excitation. See J. W. Walker et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 110, 7170 (1988).
13. The experimental setup limits distortions of the speckle pattern by the capillary since the n = 1.48 capillary is surrounded by and contains n = 1.33 water. But, we make no specific claims about the details of the speckle pattern (e.g., size of speckles or lack of distortion to the pattern).
