Notes:
A new laser based on a multipass intracavity probing system for Thomson scattering diagnostics is presented in the article. The laser system provides a considerable gain in both repetition rate of laser pulses and the diagnostics sensitivity. These capabilities have their origin in a highly effective pumping-to-probing energy conversion which is intrinsic to the system suggested. Main factors affecting the performance of the system are considered. The application of the system in high temperature plasma diagnostics is tested experimentally, and the results are discussed in this article. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
