Measurement constraints in laser based thermal lens experiments

Importance of various measurement schemes in studying thermal lens (TL) signal for laser based TL experiments is explored. We show that two different measurement schemes can result in two contrasting outcomes. In one experiment, two measurement schemes show diverging results for TL signal measurements, which gives a convoluted result and in the other experiment, the two measurement schemes give a converging result.
