If pores contain gas, the reflection coefficient in S is much smaller than that of P but shows large differences for different gas concentration in one of the two layers while the reflection coefficient in P is insensitive to the gas concentration. It is found that the ratio of the two reflection coefficients provides a powerful tool for discriminating between layers of different degrees of gas concentration and for the extension of the sensitivity of the bright-spot technique to greater depths.
