Abstract
A multipulse and multipoint Nd:YAG (neodymium-yttrium aluminum garnet) laser Thomson scattering diagnostic system was developed on EAST to obtain more accurate electron temperature Te and electron density ne profiles. In this paper, the optical system, the VME (versa module eurocard)-based real-time computer system for laser control, data acquisition, analysis and calibration are discussed in detail. Furthermore, a developed data processing method is presented.Keywords
