these samples are illuminated by a modulated light beam. r r=b
The methodology used is based on the expansion in series of
Bessel and Hankel functions of the thermal waves, which are where K is the thermal conductivity, and h and h⬘ are the
generated at the sample surface. In this way, we obtain heat transfer coefficients at the outer and inner surfaces,
equivalent results to those found by Mandelis and coworkers
using the Green’s function method.2,3 Then, starting from
these modulated solutions, we calculate the temperature evo-
lution of the sample after being heated by a short duration
light pulse, by using the inverse Laplace transform.
Let us consider an infinite and opaque hollow cylinder
with an outer radius a and an inner radius b, which is illu-
minated uniformly by a modulated light beam of intensity Io
