From page 142...
... Laser-Based Optical Diagnostics The potential of laser-based optical diagnostics for plasma science has continued to develop. Two general categories of recent achievements are measurements of the spectrum of collective plasma density fluctuations and measurement of the single-particle distribution function, both by Thomson scattering and by laser-induced fluorescence.
