    public class DiathermicMedium
    extends ClassicalProblem
    The diathermic model is based on the following propositions: - A cylindrically shaped sample is completely transparent to thermal radiation; - The front~(laser-facing) and rear (detector-facing) sides of the sample are coated by a thin grey absorber; - The coatings are in perfect thermal contact with the bulk material; - The side surface is free from any coating.

    Consequently, the monochromatic laser radiation is largely absorbed at the front face of the sample (y = 0), causing immediate heating. A portion of thermal radiation causes the rear face (y = 1) to start heating precisely at the same time~(ahead of thermal conduction). The remainder energy dissipates in the ambient.
