Laser-generated thermal wave diffraction theory is presented as a perturbative Born (or Rytav) approximation in a two-dimensional spatial domain for use with tomographic image reconstruction methodologies. The ranges of validity of the pertinent twodimensional spatial-frequencylthermal wavenumber domain complex plane contours are investigated in terms of the existence af inverse spatial Laplace...
