Description

In low temperature plasmas, tokamaks and other experimental fusion devices, the electron temperature and densities in the plasma can be measured with high accuracy by detecting the effect of Thomson scattering of light from a high-intensity laser fired through the device. It has been established as a robust technique to measure these parameters and in particular it can be used to provide detailed profiles right through the plasma
