It is based on the fact that dioptric power of thermal lensing linearly depends on the generalized thermo-optic coefficient. Knowledge of this coefficient allows not only to predict thermal lensing values but also to compare them from different experiments.Mahidol UniversityComputer ScienceEngineeringMaterials ScienceMathematicsPhysics and AstronomyConference PaperSCOPUS10.1117/12.2578887
