30. This is the case for linear polarization and for the fields considered in this paper, but not in general. For example, one may convince oneself that there are several curves n = n(Re τ) for a linearly polarized two-color field; cf. C. Figueira de Morisson Faria, M. Dörr, W. Becker, and W. Sandner, Phys. Rev. A 60, 1377 (1999).
