23. The nature of the Z-scan method is such that a large area is probed when the sample is far from focus, while in DFWM the region of the sample being probed is fixed.

25. 2, is dominated in our samples by nonlinear refraction.
26. Note that this enhancement is expressed relative to the signal that would be obtained from the identical nonlinear layer contained within the reference sample, not to that from a reference film with matched linear transmittance, as in Ref. 16.
