64. 2 laser) pulse, so that the time profile of the optical excitation matrix δΠ in the model was then that of the IR PUMP pulse alone; this was emulated by a histogram of pumping rates. The 30 ns duration of δΠ in our phenomenological treatment is consistent with the IR and UV pulse durations (8 ns and 15 ns), together with the timing uncertainty in the output of the digital delay generator (dithered at the start of each IR-UV delay over a 10 ns range) and the ±10 ns resolution of the counter used to log the kinetic data.
