A dual laser Thomson scattering has been developed at W7-X: a unique system employing, in combination with a 1064 nm laser, a 1319 nm Nd:YAG laser. Dual-laser Thomson scattering (DLTS) is an advanced diagnostic technique in which two laser pulses of different wavelengths are sent to the plasma with a very short time delay and the two scattered signals are separately and independently measured with the same set of polychromators. For the first time during OP2.1, a dual laser Thomson scattering system was operated stably during the entire experimental campaign. In this work, the dual-wavelength signals recorded in several W7-X discharges are analyzed with different methods and the resulting electron temperature profiles and the experimental errors are discussed, with the aim of identifying the capabilities of this technique.

Abstract
A dual laser Thomson scattering has been developed at W7-X: a unique system employing, in combination with a 1064 nm laser, a 1319 nm Nd:YAG laser. Dual-laser Thomson scattering (DLTS) is an advanced diagnostic technique in which two laser pulses of different wavelengths are sent to the plasma with a very short time delay and the two scattered signals are separately and independently measured with the same set of polychromators. For the first time during OP2.1, a dual laser Thomson scattering system was operated stably during the entire experimental campaign. In this work, the dual-wavelength signals recorded in several W7-X discharges are analyzed with different methods and the resulting electron temperature profiles and the experimental errors are discussed, with the aim of identifying the capabilities of this technique.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
