41. The vibronic oscillations observed in the present paper are much stronger than those observed in Ref. . In addition to the better temporal width of the pulse obtained in the present paper, this difference is due to the stabilization of the experimental setup. This stabilization made it possible to clearly observe the vibronic oscillations even at large τ, i.e., up to τ ∼ 100 fs. However, the slowly varying background becomes very weak at only τ ∼ 30 fs, which is consistent with our previous paper.
42. See Supplemental Material at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/ PhysRevB.85.245408 for a video representing the change in the coherent vibronic oscillations with the change in sound. The details of the coherent time dependence are demonstrated in the later scenes of the video file.
43. We also measured the FWM signals using another carotenoid molecule, spheroidene. The results were consistent with those observed for β-carotene. Specifically, the fundamental modes that appear in the FFT spectrum of the TG signal are in good agreement with the Raman spectrum, and the coupled modes and the overtones can be observed in the SPE configuration. Therefore, we can conclude that the appearance of the coupled modes and the overtones in the SPE configuration is a common feature of carotenoids.

50. Recently, the coherent coupling between the singlet states in β-carotene has also been investigated by means of the pump-probe spectroscopy: J. L. P. Lustres, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. ACIEF5 1433-7851 10.1002/anie.200604762 46, 3758 (2007); (Pubitemid 46981268)

68. p is 0.96. In other words, the pump pulses are wider by about 8 fs in comparison with the Fourier-limited case, which works as the chirp and gives the error bars of the coherent period.

70. If the higher-order cumulants were more important, the vibronic modes that are a combination of modes of third or higher order would be experimentally observed. This observation is not the case in the present paper.
