44. We are presently unable to assign definitive uncertainties to these values, however, due to the large parameter space and limited experimental data [27].
45. We neglect stimulated processes (such as photodissociation) which may also deplete the excited levels, since we observe no PA-induced broadening at the few MHz level.
