Preferred Label : thermal lensing;
IUPAC definition : A technique that determines the alteration in the refractive index of a medium as
a result of the temperature rise in the path of a laser beam absorbed by the medium.
The lens produced (usually divergent) causes a change (usually a decrease) in the
irradiance measured along the laser beam axis.;
