+\subsection{The bleach nonlinearity} % -----------------------------------------------------------
The bleach of the 1S band is the most studied nonlinear signature of the PbSe quantum dots.
Experiments keep track of the bleach factor, $\phi$, which is the proportionality factor that
relates the relative change in the absorption coefficient at the exciton resonance,
$\alpha_\text{FWM}(\omega_{10})$, with the average exciton occupation: %
-\begin{equation}\label{psg:eq:bleach_factor}
+\begin{equation}\label{psg:eqn:bleach_factor}
\frac{\alpha_\text{FWM}(\omega_{10})}{\alpha_0(\omega_{10})} = -\phi \bar{n}
\end{equation}
where $\alpha_0$ is the linear absorption coefficient.
If QDs are completely bleached by the creation of a single exciton, then $\phi = 1$; if QDs are
unperturbed by the exciton, then $\phi=0$. %
For PbSe, 1S-resonant values of $\phi=0.25$ and $0.125$ have been reported in literature

+Inspection of \autoref{psg:eqn:chi3_lorentz} shows that $\phi = \frac{\text{Im} \left[ L_0 - SL_1
\right]}{L_0}$; if the 1S nonlinearity is dominated by state-filling ($\xi=1$ and $\epsilon=0$),
then the bleach fraction has perfect correspondence with the change in the number of optically
active states: $\phi = 1-S$. %
Because Coulombic shifts and EID act to decrease the resonant absorption of the excited state, we
have the strict relation $\phi \geq 1-S$. %

Transferring this simulation to the TG data poses technical challenges.
A critical factor is appropriately scaling the TG signals relative to TA signals.

-The transient refraction (Figure \ref{fig:cw_sim1}, third column) shows highly dispersive character with a node near resonance.
+The transient refraction shows highly dispersive character with a node near resonance. %
This means that there is a point in our spectrum at which $\left| \chi^{(3)} \right| = \left| \text{Im}\left[ \chi^{(3)} \right] \right|$.
Of course, we also have the constraint $ \left| \chi^{(3)} \right| \geq \left| \text{Im} \left[ \chi^{(3)} \right] \right|$ for every probe color.
These two constraints uniquely determine the appropriate scaling factor as the minimum scalar $c_0$ that satisfies $c_0 S_{\text{TG}} \geq \left| S_{\text{TA}} \right|$ for all probe colors.
-%Such a scaling of the experimental data is consistent with our TA fit because the peak TA component is nearly equal to the peak TG amplitude (when the arbitrary offset of the KK-transform is zero).
As we alluded, the arbitrary offset of the Kramers-Kronig transform deserves special consideration.
-%A single TA resonance should not cause an offset in the transient reflection spectrum, but it is conceivable that states outside our spectral range are strongly coupled to the 1S band and produce strong refractive signals at these colors.
-%While the peaked TA line shape might seem to imply a dispersively shaped $\text{Re} \left[ \chi^{(3)} \right]$ with a node near the bleach center, this is not guaranteed by the Kramers-Kronig relations.
The physical origin for this offset would be coupling between the 1S band and states outside our spectral range.
If the coupling is sufficiently strong, the $\text{Re}\left[ \chi^{(3)} \right] $ offset may be large enough to remove the node, invalidating the minimum scaling factor method.
We believe such a large offset is not viable for several reasons.
From a physical standpoint, it seems very unlikely a non-resonant state would have coupling stronger coupling to the 1S band than the 1S band itself. % DK: elaborate?
-Furthermore, TA studies with larger spectral ranges see no evidence of coupling features with strength comparable to the 1S bleach.\cite{Gdor2013a,Trinh2013}
-Finally, a sufficiently large refractive offset would produce a dip in the $\left| \chi^{(3)} \right|$ line shape near the FHWM points; such features are definitively absent in the TG spectra.

-% DK: a more direct topic sentence might be nice--jump to the fact that equation 4 is inadequate
-%While we have confidence in relating the TG and TA measurements using the minimum scaling factor, we find two inconsistencies when fitting Equation \ref{eq:chi3_lorentz} with experiment.
-%Firstly, the TA simulation gives a resonant bleach factor that is much greater than that predicted by state-filling alone: for instance, with $1-S=0.25$, we see $\phi>0.5$ for both batches (Figure \ref{fig:cw_sim1}, first column).
-%While our parameters successfully recreate the features of the TA line shapes, the simulation grossly overshoots the magnitude of the non-linearity.
-While we have confidence in relating the TG and TA measurements using the minimum scaling factor, Equation \ref{eq:chi3_lorentz} fails to accurately reproduce the TG spectrum (Figure \ref{fig:cw_sim1}, third column).
-The errors are systematic: in both batches, our simulation misses the characteristic red skew of our experimental TG and instead skews signal to the blue.
-Based on the excellent agreement with $S_{\text{TA}}$ (Figure \ref{fig:cw_sim1}, second column), it follows that the chief source of error in our simulation lies in $\text{Re} \left[ \chi^{(3)} \right]$.
-The experimentally-consistent $\text{Re} \left[ \chi^{(3)} \right]$ can be calculated from Equation \ref{eq:chi_real} (Figure \ref{fig:cw_sim1}, fourth column).
-The dark green curve highlights which of the two roots of Equation \ref{eq:chi_real} is closest to our simulation.

-It was found, however, that minimizing error between Equation \ref{eq:offset_fit} and the two datasets alone does not confine all variables uniquely.

$\text{FWHM}_{\text{tot}} \left[ \text{cm}^{-1} \right] \approx 5672 \Gamma_{10}\left[
\text{fs}^{-1} \right] + \sqrt{2298 \Gamma_{10}\left[ \text{fs}^{-1} \right] + 8 \ln 2
- \left(\sigma_{\text{inhom}}\left[ \text{cm}^{-1} \right]\right) }$. \cite{Olivero1977} %
+ \left(\sigma_{\text{inhom}}\left[ \text{cm}^{-1} \right]\right) }$. \cite{OliveroJJ1977a} %
+
+Rather than a complete global fit of all parameters, we accept the non-linear parameters extracted
+earlier (\autoref{psg:tab:fit2}) and optimize the inhomogeneous-homogeneous ratio only, using the
+ellipticity of the 2D peak shape \cite{OkumuraKo1999a} at late population times as the figure of
+merit. %
+\autoref{psg:tab:fit3} shows the degree of inhomogeneity in the sample from matching the ellipticity
+of the peak shape. %
+As expected, Batch B fits to a smaller Gaussian distribution of transition energies than Batch A,
+but it also exhibits a longer homogeneous dephasing time, suggesting different system-bath coupling
+strengths for both samples. %
+Previous research on the coherent dynamics of PbSe 1S exciton feature noted homogeneous lifetimes
+are a significant source of broadening on the 1S exciton; \cite{KohlerDanielDavid2014a} our results
+demonstrate that the relationship between exciton size distribution and 1S exciton linewidth is
+further complicated by sample-dependent system-bath coupling. %
+
+The results of this final simulation are compared with the experimental data in Figure
+\autoref{psg:fig:nise_fits}. %
+It is important to note that the simulations get many details of the rise-time spectra correct.
+Particularly, the transition from narrow, diagonal line shape to a broad, less diagonal line shape
+is reproduced very well in both TA and TG simulations. %
+Such behavior is expected for responses from excitonic peaks of material systems; the rise time
+behavior for such systems was studied in detail previously. \cite{KohlerDanielDavid2017a} %
+Because these simulations do not account for hot-exciton creation from the pump, simulations differ
+from experiment increasingly as the pump becomes bluer than the 1S center. %

-The following is an errata for \textcite{CzechKyleJonathan2015a}, published in November 2015.
-
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Reference 13 is identical to reference 9.
- \item In the last paragraph of the introduction the sentence ``The experimental spectra differ
- from the simple 2D spectrum shown in Figure 1d and those of earlier CMDS experiments with model
- systems'' appears. This sentence cites references 6 through 10. Instead, it should cite
- references 15 through 20.
- \item In the last paragraph begining on page 12148, the text ``Automated delay stages and neutral
- density filters set the excitation time delays over all values of $\tau_{21}$ with
- $\tau_{22}=0$'' appears. For the second $\tau$, the subscript should read $22^\prime$, not
- $22$.
- \item Caption of Figure 5 reads, in part: "showing the impact of the $\omega_1$ excitation
- frequency on the $\omega_1$ spectral line shape". This should instead read "showing the impact
- of the $\omega_1$ excitation frequency on the $\omega_2$ spectral line shape". The subscript on
- the last $\omega$ should be a 2 and not a 1.
- \item Figure 6 e$^\prime$+e,e$^\prime$ should read e$^\prime$+e,e and vice versa.
