    LIDAR Thomson scattering method is a powerful new technique by which the electron tempera-ture and the density in magnetic confinement plasma devices can be measured through only one window, according to the principle of laser radar (LIDAR). After the successful measurement in the JET tokamak, the application of this technique to the ITER tokamak is under taken. Instead of the ruby laser system used in the first experiment at JET, a‘new laser’with an output energy of 2-10 J in 100-300ps FWHM at 10-100 Hz is required in a wavelength region of 700-800 nm, to improve temporal and spatial resolution. The present review introduces the history and the present situation of the LIDAR Thomson scattering method, and discusses the possibility of the development of the ‘new laser’.

    This paper presents the detailed analysis of a frequency stabilized internal-mirror He-Ne laser (λ=633 nm) controlled digitally by making use of the dependency of the intensities of two orthogonal polarization modes on frequency detuning. A laser tube containing an equivolume mixture of Ne20 and Ne22 was used in the experiment. Frequency stabilities were evaluated in terms of the resolutions of the digitization of polarization mode intensities. A 14-bit resolution system provided a stability of better than 10-10 for the integration time of 0.1 to 250 [sec] while lower resolution systems exhibited lower stabilities. It was found that the flexure of the laser tube due to thermal expansion slightly changed the detuning characteristics and limited long-term stability.

    We have designed a conduction cooled Nd: glass zig-zag slab laser pumped by xenon flash-lamps. An improved 2-D ray tracing code can calculate the power coupling coefficient from the lamps to the slab, which qualitatively predicts a gain distribution. A calculated temperature rise at a 4 kW input power is about 6°, close to an observed temperature rise of 8°C. It is predicted that a 20 kW input power will give rise to a 30-degree temperature difference, which is close to the fracture limit of a 6mm thick LHG-5 slab.

    A UV-laser micro-Raman spectrometer has been developed for the analysis of micro samples. High spatial resolution and resonance Raman and fluorescence-eliminated effects, which cannot be achieved in visible-laser excited systems, have been realized. Problems such as optical damage of samples are unsolved.

    For a laser diode (LD) pumped solid-state laser system using high power LD arrays, compact optical sensors of high speed, high response, low noise and low cost are needed. We constructed optical probes using Ge avalanche photo-diode (APD) and Si-APD for the wavelength region of 0.3-1.6μm. To measure the intensity distribution of laser beams, spectral distribution, and wavelength shift of LD arrays, we used a CCD linear image sensor and a polychromator which were designed and constructed.
