Abstract
A CO2 laser heterodyne system was successfully used to measure plasma density‐length product (DLP) in the 1013–1014‐cm−2 range, with μsec response. This was done in the extremely adverse environment of the Astron‐controlled fusion experimental area at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Livermore. The results indicate that the system is capable of covering a plasma DLP range of 1012–1016 cm−2 with 20‐nsec response.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
