A combined Doppler and time-of-flight laser anemometer for measurement of density fluctuations in plasmas

We propose a new configuration for laser-based optical measurements of density fluctuations in plasmas. The system is a combination of the Doppler and time-of-flight methods. The characteristics of the system are compared with those of previous approaches. We show that the proposed configuration pro...

Summary:We propose a new configuration for laser-based optical measurements of density fluctuations in plasmas. The system is a combination of the Doppler and time-of-flight methods. The characteristics of the system are compared with those of previous approaches. We show that the proposed configuration provides better spatial resolution than the Doppler method.
