49. By “rigid” one refers to molecules for which tunneling between equivalent equilibrium conformations does not take place on the time scale of the experiment, see Ref. 44 p. 5,6. It is important to note that this definition of a rigid molecule allows nonzero vibration amplitude and centrifugal distortion. We note also that molecules may well behave as rigid on the time-scale of a short pulse pump-probe experiment even if analysis of a CW spectrum requires that large amplitude motion be taken into account.
50. We distinguish between the subscript (Formula presented), which labels the energy levels and magnetic states of the initial electronic state, and the subscript i, which labels the energy level and magnetic state of the initial rovibrational level, since a nonperturbative field excites in general a wave packet of (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) levels.

58. It is more precise to consider the molecular point group as the group of vibronic symmetry operations of a rigid molecule, whereas the symmetry group of the full molecular Hamiltonian is referred to as the “molecular symmetry group” in Ref. 55. Thus, the operations of the molecular point group do not transform the Euler angles. In the case of rigid 42 nonlinear molecules considered here the molecular symmetry group is isomorphic to the molecular point group and hence we prefer the standard usage of “point group” for the “molecular symmetry group.”
