20. From the oscillation period and the refractive index for the probe light, the sound velocity is evaluated to be ∼7.7 km/s, which is close to the value reported in other oxides, see M. Fiebig, K. Miyano, Y. Tomioka, and Y. Tokura, Appl. Phys. B: Lasers Opt. 71, 211 (2000).
21. Here, 0 ps means the time when ΔP/P (or ΔR/R) shows minimum around the time origin.
