	abstract = {An upgraded beam emission spectroscopy (BES) system has been deployed to access low amplitude turbulence regions near internal transport barriers on the DIII-D tokamak. Sixteen high sensitivity channels are being installed. A significant increase in total signal to noise is achieved by: (1) Increased spatial volume sampling tailored to known turbulence characteristics; (2) An increased throughput spectrometer assembly to isolate the local beam fluorescence, coupled to new large area photoconductive photodiodes; (3) A new sharp edge interference filter designed to optimize detection of the beam emission plus a significant fraction of the thermal deuterium charge exchange. A new data acquisition system has been installed, providing an eight times increase in integration time or an increased sample rate. Preliminary results from the upgraded system show a signal enhancement of greater than an order of magnitude. A clear broadband density fluctuation signal is observed in H-mode discharges with the upgraded BES system, demonstrating the significant performance enhancement.},
