28. This simplifying assumption that the initial anisotropy of ground and excited states have the same absolute value can be relaxed in the general analysis.
29. F=1 is usually assumed following physical argument, but has never been experimentally confirmed.
30. e generally has contributions from both absorption and stimulated emission from the excited state), yielding scattered results as found in the literature.
