The content of this thesis was carried out within the framework of the global magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) effort. The flagship project for MCF is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), currently under construction and due for commissioning in 2025. ITER is an unprecedented device that pushes the limits of technology and physics across all sectors, and the field of plasma diagnostics is no exception. Thomson scattering (TS) is one of the most powerful diagnostics available to fusion devices, providing high resolution spatial and temporal profiles of the plasma electron temperature and electron density, which are measurements vital to the understanding of the plasma. Although conventional TS is a well proven metho...
