23. Each transient of the two experimental traces has been fitted with a scaling factor as a free parameter. The ratio has been evaluated by comparing the results.

25. The intermediate field regime corresponds to the regime well below the intrinsic saturation regime but beyond the perturbative regime (for which no significant field-induced transfer of rotational population occurs).
