A ruby laser sytem in periodically Q-switched operation was used for Thomson scattering from a tokamak plasma. The laser delivers about 25 equidistant pulses of more than 10 MW peak power during the 1-ms flashlamp discharge. Electron density and temperature of the plasma were recorded as a function of time during the pulse sequence. The repetitively Q-switched system has been used to measure temperature and density development during a disruptive instability.
