  • Abstract
    In thermal wave imaging on solids both magnitude and phase angle are used. However, a comparison between theoretical and experimental results is lacking even for the simple case of an air-backed metal plate. In the letter we present measurements and point out the difference between sinusoidal and square-wave intensity modulation.
