Without the second change above, the fit to the data is significantly worse.  It might be explained by the tendency of cross-talk to bunch up because of self-coupling feedback.  A simpler explanation might be that it takes into account a natural variation in the light output of the pulser from pulse to pulse.  This remains to be investigated.  The parameters of the fit function listed in the above plots are listed below.
