Spatial modification of a Gaussian beam by reflection on a surface of a high-absorbing material is investigated experimentally. A theoretical description in a geometrical-optics approach is given. The usefulness and sensitivity of the method for applications in measuring laser induced surface deformation and Kerr-like nonlinear coefficients is discussed.
