25. If necessary, one can easily extend the method to more than two pulses. Independently chopping all pulses, one can extract the nonlinear signal analogous to Eq.

27. The nonlinear signal is a real quantity and, thus, the Fourier transform is invariant against the simultaneous sign change in t and τ (cf. Fig.). Therefore the first pump-probe signal will also occur at t =- 0 and τ = 0.

30. The sensitivity of our electro-optic setup is limited to frequencies t 40 THz by the 12 fs duration of the 800 nm sampling pulses, thus setting an upper limit for the detection in t. In τ, the much higher frequency limit is determined by the stepsize used in scanning the delay τ.
