Notes:
A 12-channel system for resolving either the ω or k spectra of plasma Langmuir turbulence is developed. The direct detection system is operated with a scattering linewidth of order 100 GHz at scattering angles ranging from 10−1 to 10−3 rad. Stray light rejection of up to 13 orders of magnitude is provided by an ammonia-filled gas cell. It is possible to vary the absorption frequency width from 20 MHz to 5 GHz keeping absorption in the ammonia line center constant. The ω and k spectra of Langmuir turbulence excited in the plasma by a high-current relativistic electron beam are measured via the technique described.
