11. The phase offset with respect to the lower curve of Fig. 4 is caused by dispersion of the ω and 2ω beams after passing the sample.

15. The phase front displacement of ω and 2ω beams in the light propagation direction due to dispersion within the sample can be neglected because of the small sample thickness.
