Combined visible and infrared Thomson scattering on the MAST experiment

A dual laser Thomson scattering system is implemented in the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST). The complementary features of each approach are exploited. One system is ideally suited to measuring detailed profile behavior across the plasma while the other is ideally suited though not exclusively to...

Description
Summary:A dual laser Thomson scattering system is implemented in the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST). The complementary features of each approach are exploited. One system is ideally suited to measuring detailed profile behavior across the plasma while the other is ideally suited though not exclusively to studying fast changing events and general characterization of the plasma. Both systems are designed to be flexible and allow future expansion to suit the needs of a changing physics program.
