20. (2ω) at the boundary of the illuminated volume. A more accurate treatment might assume that the emitting region acts as an emitting ellipsoid, but the aspect ratio of the emitting volume of ∼9 for excitation and ∼6 for SH emission (based on field, not intensity, profiles) significantly reduces the depolarization along the NW.
