25. The value τ = 10 fs has been extracted by fitting the convolution of the pump and probe pulses with a double exponential decay function to the experimental data.
26. The dielectric function of CuGeO 3 in the ground state has been obtained by fitting, for both b and c polarizations, the absorption coefficient reported in Ref. with a multioscillator model.
27. Due to the small variations in the time-resolved spectra, the value of ω 0 = 3.67 eV, determined through the differential fitting procedure, is subjected, on the sub-ps timescale, to an error larger than in the other configurations.

29. The values of α 0, E 0, and σ, for both c and b polarizations, have been taken from Ref. and kept fixed during the fitting procedure.
