Abstract

Collective Thomson scattering technique based on high power laser has already proved its ability in measuring the ion (bulk and fast) temperature (T i) in fusion plasma devices like tokamaks and stellarators. This paper present first trial to implement collective Thomson scattering diagnostic based on quasi-optical gyrotron as a source of radiation. It was found utilization of this wavelength band gives more flexibility in diagnostic port arrangement.
