Abstract
A general three-dimensional theoretical model for fundamental and harmonic response generation as a result of periodic heating of a system consisting of a nonlinear layer with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat and a linear substrate is developed. Analysis of the fundamental component of the surface temperature shows that the nonlinear thermal conductivity alone does not affect the phase of the thermal-wave field. The efficiency of the thin nonlinear layer as an energy conversion filter that drives the harmonic response of the substrate is shown by the analysis of the limiting cases of the theoretical model.
