Abstract

The TFTR Thomson scattering system has been operational since January 1984. The diagnostic uses two ruby lasers and two spectrometer-detector systems to provide profiles at two times in a discharge. The two scattering lines consist of 76 spatial channels which span the 200-cm vacuum vessel along a major radius. The detectors are gated, intensified CCD arrays with single photoelectron sensitivity. Te(R) and Ne(R) profiles are presented.
