“…So, for each acquisition the absorption was measured owing to the OPM and the TL processing as explained previously. The obtained α values were not equal especially because the equation used for the fitting according to Equation (5) is derived with too many approximations, as is shown in reference [ 15 ]. Indeed, in the latter reference, based on the Helmoltz equation, the diffracted intensity profiles at finite distance were calculated numerically without any approximation considering the whole system, including the optical and the thermal parameters.…”
