34. Note that we omitted the intralevel coupling terms for simplicity which can be included within a rotating-wave approximation, see Ref..

40. Note that this conclusion is in contradiction with the experimental data (see Sec. 1) and therefore supports the doubts concerning the efficiency of the anharmonic decay mechanism.
