The oscillations are for θ = 5.25, (a, b): ln(|Ein|2 + 1) = 5.5, (c, d): ln(|Ein|2 + 1) = 5.4, (e, f): ln(|Ein|2 + 1) = 5.3525, (g, h): ln(|Ein|2 + 1) = 5.2, and (i, j): ln(|Ein|2 + 1) = 5.1, computed by numerically integrating Eqs. (4). (a, c, e, g, i) show the intensity evolution; (b, d, f, h, j) show the complex phase. For more detailed discussion please refer to main text.
