Abstract
Some anomalies observed in pulsed-laser thermal lens spectrophotometry are presented. Deviations from the expected thermal lens signal were obtained with fluorescent as well as non-fluorescent compounds. Also, transient absorption of the probe beam from long-lived triplet states may induce errors in the measurement of the true thermal lens signal.
