13. The participation of specific (near-resonant) background states in light-induced transitions is also important in other contexts. It has been particularly well studied in the theory of radiationless transitions and intramolecular vibrational redistribution, see, e.g., T. Uzer and W.H. Miller, Phys. Rep. 199, 73 (1991).
