19. This is the case for dipole-allowed PA/PD, barring accidents such as the outer turning point of the vibrational state of the molecule nearly coinciding with the scattering length of the parent atom.

22. Along with a variation (Formula presented) of the laser frequency comes a spread of photon recoil momenta (Formula presented). However, this is inconsequential unless the length scale of the experiment is at least of the order (Formula presented). For the frequency scale of the adiabatic sweep (Formula presented) it would take a kilometer-size experiment to resolve the momentum spread.
