Abstract
The design of Thomson scattering system for the Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device is described. The system includes a laser beam guiding system, laser input port, laser beam dump, collection lens, shutter, and cassette system. The laser guiding system has a collimating lens set for reducing the laser power loss. The laser beam dump will be attached inside of the vacuum vessel and hence it has been designed compactly. The preliminary design of collection lens, shutter system, and the cassette were done by PPPL and the engineering design is being executed by NFRI. The collection lens system has two sets of lenses, one set is designed for the core and the other set is designed for the edge. Two sets of pneumatic shutter systems are designed for independent remote control. Most of the KSTAR Thomson scattering system design is already finished and we are planning to install the whole system by March, 2010. We will measure the plasma parameters (Te, ne) in KSTAR during the third campaign.
