a) Change of the OCT signal ΔS_PRL in the in the photoreceptor layer (PRL) and displacement Δz_s of the retinal surface during irradiation with 400 W/cm² (ΔT > 69 K). b) Signal change $\Delta S_{PRL}^{\mathit{end}}$ and displacement $\Delta z_s^{\mathit{end}}$ at the end of the irradiation for different irradiances. Visibility of the lesion is indicated by the color of the symbol going from blue (invisible) over black (slightly visible) to red (clearly visible lesion). Coloured background indicates the temperature ranges for the visibility of the lesions.
