14. b) is known at each frequency which is not a serious problem because in case of optical saturation the phase of the surface temperature of a homogeneous solid does not depend on the thermal parameters of the sample and can be stored in the computer.

17. In fact, the limit x≈1.5μ at which the phase of the surface temperature is still sensitive to subsurface features is valid in case of a great mismatch of the thermal parameters, e.g., defects. When the changes of k(x) are smooth this limit will be closer to the surface.
