This paper summarizes the development of components, in particular, the beam combiner so as to minimize neutron streaming through the port plug penetrations used for las er beam injection and the strengthening of the beam dump so it can withstand harsh thermal and mechanical loads. Furthermore, a method to align the collection optics field of view was proposed and verified by ray-tracing simulation. The resolution and accuracy of which were approximately 0.5 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively. These values were much finer than the expected characteristic length of electron temperature and density gradients in the edge plasma of ITER.}, pages = {1068--1072}, title = {Technical Innovations for ITER Edge Thomson Scattering Measurement System}, volume = {136}, year = {2018} }
