The errors in determining the thermal characteristics of a semitransparent material by a pulsed method are determined by comparing the results of a numerical solution of the problem of the steady temperature field of a sample when a collimated laser pulse of finite duration acts on its surface with the true values of the thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity.
