Abstract
The use of laser light as a monitor for the state of a hot dense plasma is one of the most important and reliable plasma diagnostic techniques. Problems encountered in Thompson scattering electron temperature measurements and interferometric density measurements are discussed. Finally, the possibility of two-wavelength scattering yielding a deep insight into the phase space distribution of a plasma is presented.
