We developed a new fitting technique to improve electron temperature measurement accuracy using Thomson scattering (TS) signals. This method enhances data analysis for multi-pass TS systems, reducing measurement errors.

Area of Science:

  • Plasma physics
  • Optical diagnostics

Background:

  • Accurate electron temperature measurement is crucial for understanding plasma behavior.
  • Traditional Thomson scattering (TS) analysis can be limited by signal noise and overlap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel analysis method for enhancing electron temperature measurement accuracy.
  • To apply this method to multi-pass Thomson scattering (MPTS) systems.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a least-squares fitting technique to analyze raw TS signals.
  • Adapted the fitting method for the analysis of closely spaced signals in MPTS.

Main Results:

  • The fitting technique significantly reduced errors in electron temperature measurements.
