We report a comparative experimental and theoretical study of second harmonic generation from a 20nm-thick indium tin oxide nanolayer in the proximity of the epsilon-near-zero condition. We record the efficiency of the second harmonic signal both as a function of wavelength as well as of the angle of incidence around the epsilon-near-zero crossing point. We compare our experimental results with numerical simulations based on a hydrodynamical model able to capture all major physical mechanisms driving the electrodynamic behavior of conductive oxide layers, with unique aspects of the different nonlinear sources. We found a very good quantitative and qualitative agreement between experiment and theory.
