(5) I Thermal-wave radar and linear-frequency modulation (LFM) imaging i : Thermal wave radar (TWR) and the related photoacoustic radar are highly efficient and rapid non-destructive PT inspection techniques pioneered by Andreas's group in the 1980s as frequency modulated (FM) time delay photoacoustic and photothermal wave spectroscopies. It is our pleasure to introduce this Festschrift of the Journal of Applied Physics to honor Professor Andreas Mandelis on the occasion of his 70th birthday and to recognize his many outstanding contributions to the field of theoretical and experimental photothermal (PT), photoacoustic (PA), and photonic/optoelectronic diffusion-wave science and technology. The large number of contributions reflects the high esteem to which the international PT, PA, and diffusion-wave communities have held Andreas's seminal works over half a century of research that encompass an unusually wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines. During the same conference, to celebrate Andreas's 70th birthday, several happenings were organized on June 22, Andreas's actual birthday, at the initiative of Mladen Franko, the ICPPP21 Chair and his colleague members of the Organizing Committee from the University of Nova Gorica and the University of Ljubljana.
