“Interestingly, in the case of SHG, if all contributions scattered by the sample along the optical axis interfere in a constructive manner, the signal should scale as ρz × 1/ρz2, i.e. should not exhibit the same drop as 2PEF from an extended sample (Table 1).”

should read:

“Interestingly, in the case of SHG, if all contributions scattered by the sample along the optical axis interfere in a constructive manner, the signal should scale as ρz2 × 1/ρz2, i.e. should not exhibit the same drop as 2PEF from an extended sample (Table 1).”

In Table 1, ‘ρz2 × 1/ρz2 = 1’ is incorrectly given as ‘ρz × 1/ρz2’.
