36. In both cases, there is a rapid rise and fall in the signal followed by a slower decay. Because of a large coherence signal in the earlier measurements, the analysis of those experiments did not include the early signal. Instead, it used a 1 ps rise and fit the evolution at times longer than 2 ps to obtain a 1 ps decay followed by a 10 ps decay. In the present experiment, we observe both the rise and the fall without complications from a coherence signal. However, the long-time decay is barely observable in our more dilute solutions, and the decay rate we obtain from the single exponential fit is about twice as fast as determined in the previous measurement.

38. The variation among data sets dominates the reported uncertainty. The uncertainty within any one data set is much smaller.
