Continuous wave high-power laser propagation in water is affected by strong thermal lensing and thermal blooming already at short distances

When laser beams propagate through media with non-vanishing absorption, the media is heated resulting in a change of the refractive index, which can lead to thermal lensing and thermal blooming. However, experimental details about both phenomena for propagations in water are lacking, especially for...
