Abstract

An incoherent Thomson scattering system for observing local unsteady cavities that form in a turbulent plasma in the course of Langmuir collapse is described. Using this diagnostics, the density cavities in a laboratory plasma with developed strong Langmuir turbulence were directly observed for the first time and their spatial and temporal characteristics were determined.
