Abstract

The densities of NeI atoms and XeII ions in the PS-1 mirror system were measured by the method of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). Schemes of levels for LIF measurements of the density are proposed. Models for numerical processing of the obtained LIF signals are developed. The electron temperature and plasma density were also measured using Langmuir probes.
