Thermal lensing is an unwanted effect in optics used for high-power laser imaging. The high light intensity causes a heat up of the lenses which induces a focus shift. To tackle this issue, Phillip Rall recently presented a “Simulation and compensation of thermal lensing in high-power optical system...
