24. - 3 corresponds to an average length between electrons close to 5 nm. Since the lattice cell size is smaller than 1 nm in KDP crystals, a STE localized in a cell then is assumed not to interact with other defects.
25. It is noteworthy that results based on the previous KES can be slightly improved by also considering an additional KES. Its structure is the same as Eq. (2). It accounts for a direct transition from the valence band to the conduction band with the absorption of five photons and a constant relaxation time close to 9 ps.

28. - 31 Furthermore, when electronic avalanche due to impact ionization is significant compared to multiphoton ionization, the free-electron density evolves exponentially with respect to the laser intensity. Since this behavior is not experimentally observed (Δ Φ evolves as a given power of the intensity), this shows impact ionization does not play a significant role in the ionization. Therefore, this ionization mechanism has not been included in the modeling.
