Effect of Probe saturation upon Saturation Power
When Probe saturation is taken into account, the total absorption must incorporate two different
Saturation Parameter due to both pump and probe.
S1=Saturation Parameter due to probe
 S2=Saturation Parameter due to pump
There is almost no effect on Psat due to probe power
