12. Damping is irrelevant under the conditions of this paper unless the damping rate becomes comparable to the transition frequency, in which case no resonance exists at all. For our numerical calculations, we chose a transverse relaxation time (Formula presented) which would, e.g., correspond to (Formula presented) for a carrier frequency of light (Formula presented) with light period (Formula presented) or (Formula presented) equivalent to about 800 nm wavelength of light. Longitudinal damping is neglected.
