For future burning plasma experiments, all diagnostics must be re-evaluated in terms of their measurement capabilities and robustness to the new environment. This is certainly true for interferometry measurements where conventional approaches may not be ideal and interpretation may require modification due to high plasma temperatures. Optimizing these systems to provide maximum information will be crucial to understanding burning plasma dynamics. This paper will explore a variety of phase measurement techniques for the main body and divertor regions that can be utilized on burning plasma experiments like ITER and beyond.
