Definition of the parameters used for the calculations.
Phase-matching and anti-Stokes radiation angle β are controlled by the illumination geometry determined by θp;min/max or α as well as θS. Anti-Stokes radiation arises from a homogeneous sample of length L and radius Q or an arbitrary z-structured sample. Pump, Stokes and anti-Stokes beam paths are highlighted in green, red and blue, respectively.
