When the current is increased, the polarization rotates and the ellipticity of the output beam increases.

This smearing tends to make small objects more round, destroying some of the information about their true ellipticity.

Oblateness: the property possessed by a round shape that is flattened at the poles; "the oblateness of the planet"
The flattening, ellipticity, or oblateness of an oblate spheroid is a measure of the "squashing" of the spheroid's pole, towards its equator. If is the distance from the spheroid center to the equator and the distance from the center to the pole then
The condition of being elliptical (flattened from perfect circular or spherical form); A measure of this flattening that is a function of the ellipse's equatorial and polar radii
Describes the fact that the core or cladding may be elliptical rather than circular.
