23. The four digits diameters' values, shown in Fig. 2, are determined by the Halle group from the analysis of the SEM picture. Because of the fluctuations along the pores and the method used to obtain the diameters, only the first three digits are reliable. However, the fourth digit does not significantly affect the results and can be neglected in the calculations.
24. When the source is suddenly switched off, all frequencies are introduced. However, they rapidly fade away, and the frequency of the cavity mode is the only one surviving.
