[Tutor] Fitting data to error function

What I am trying to do is calculate the non-colinear autocorrelation:

G(t_d) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} |E(t)|^2 * |E(t - t_d)|^2 dt

So I need to loop through an array of t_d values (len = 376) and calculate
G(t_d) for as many t values as possible to eliminate sampling issues.
