Abstract The nonlinear surface susceptibility χ S (2) is generally referred to the system of Cartesian coordinates of thesample. However, since actual measurements take place with respect to thelaboratory system of coordinates, appropriate transformation of χ S (2) is necessary to deduce the underlying susceptibility-components. We demonstrate this by analyzing the second-harmonic signal generated by an inclined sample upon rotation around thes-axis of the laboratory system of coordinates. The sample consists of two Langmuir-Blodgett-type monolayers of rotational symmetry around the sample normal, the two layers being separated by a plane-parallel flat of 1 mm thickness. The occurrence of a “symmetry-forbidden”I SS 2ω -signal is discussed in detail.
