15. While the exact line shape is not important, such a line shape is typical of USL media; here, it is obtained with two absorption lines sandwiching a gain line.
16. G on ω, limited resolution, and inapplicability of perturbation theory for leaky modes. The expected contribution of each of these errors is a few %.
