18. Band-shape analysis by singular-value decomposition or fitting to Lorentzian line shapes yielded the same conclusion.
19. An additional featureless contribution always appears within time resolution and rapidly decays afterwards. We attribute this component with strong dependence on excitation intensity to a quasifree electron, generated by multiphoton excitation of MePe.
