The measurements of mechanical, thermal and optical properties of inhomogeneous media under investigation are of great scientific and practical interest in many fields of physics and technique. Photoacoustics proposes wide range of diagnostics methods. The reconstruction of spatial distribution or localization of inhomogeneities in a medium from detected photoacoustic (PA) signals is the inverse problem, which however requires the solution of direct PA problem. The numerous works deal with the solution of direct PA problem in model one-dimensional inhomogeneous media [F. Saadallah, 1999, Optic. Mater., 12, 163]. A medium under study was excited by amplitude-modulated radiation and signals were detected by gas-microphone methods.  The main goal of our work is to develop the general approach for solution of direct PA problem in inhomogeneous media excited by laser pulse. The assumption that cross size of laser beam more than light penetration depth makes it possible not take into account share waves and effects connected with diffraction and consider purely the one-dimensional model. The transfer function method, is utilized for the numerical investigation of direct PA problem. This allows separating the contributions of properties of investigated medium and parameters of incident laser radiation to the resulting PA signal. Actually the transfer function determines frequency dependent efficiency of PA signal generation. The transfer function is obtained by sequential designing with modified matrix method [A. Karabutov, V. Kozhushko, G. Mityurich, I. Pelivanov, 2001 Acoust. Phys., 47, 721] of the following problems: calculation of distribution of heat-sources, temperature field and scalar potential of particles velocities.
