28. (1) could induce an artifact, but this variation is of second order in η and is not taken into account in Eq. (3). It induces a visible effect only in the case of a highly scattering extended surface (see Sec. IV).

31. Approximate analytical expressions of the field can be derived from Eq. (9) by using the Born approximation. This leads to the first-order perturbation theory used in Sec. II. See Ref. 21 for more details.
