52. The effect of heating can be neglected. Considering the beam size and the thermal diffusion coefficient of the polystyrene, we estimate for the FWM experiment, a characteristic heating build up time 2 × 10 3 time faster than in the Z -scan experiment, with an on state of the excitation 4 × 10 3 times shorter. As a consequence, the heating effects are attenuated by a factor of two in the FWM experiment with respect to the Z -scan measurements, where it is negligible.
