Abstract: Context. Response functions provide us with a quantitative measure of sensitivity of the emergent spectrum to perturbations in the solar atmosphere and are thus the method of choice for interpreting spectropolarimetric observations. For the lines formed in the solar chromosphere, it is necessary to compute these responses taking into account nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) effects.
