Design of a Microwave Frequency Sweep Interferometer for Plasma Density Measurements in Ecr Ion Sources∗
Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS) are among the candidates to support the growing request of intense beams of multicharged ions. Their further development is related to the availability of new diagnostic tools, nowadays consisting of few types only of devices designed on purpose for such compact machines. Microwave Interferometry is a non-invasive method for plasma diagnostics an...
متن کاملDual laser interferometer for plasma density measurements on large tokamaks.
A two-wavelength plasma density interferometer utilizing a CO(2) laser and an HeNe laser is described. The interferometer is being designed for use on Doublet III, a large noncircular cross-section tokamak. The use of the two wavelengths allows the distinction between fringe shifts due to plasma density and fringe shifts due to mirror vibrations. Plasma density fringe shifts of 1/10 of a fringe...
متن کاملModulated submillimeter laser interferometer system for plasma density measurements.
A high resolution submillimeter interferometer system for measurement of electron densities in the 10(14)-cm(-3) </= n(e) </= 2 x 10(15)-cm(-3) range has been developed for use in high density tokamaks. Phase modulation at ~1 MH(z) is accomplished by difference frequency mixing of two cavity tuned laser oscillators. The optically pumped CH(3)OH lasers, which operate on the 118.8-microtm line, f...
متن کاملAn Improved Forward Scattering Simulation Technique for Microwave Breast Imaging
Microwave imaging is a promising alternative to conventional mammography methods. At microwave frequencies, normal and malignant tissues show high contrasts in their electrical properties. Microwave Imaging (MWI) systems can be used to construct three-dimensional profiles of the electrical properties of the body part that is being examined. MWI systems illuminate the body part with electromagne...
متن کاملA Multi-Reflection Type Visible-Laser Interferometer for High Density Plasma Measurements
In order to measure a high density plasma more than 1020 m−3 in the vicinity of a magneto-plasma-dynamic arcjet (MPDA), a visible-laser interferometer is fabricated using a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm). As it doesn’t have enough phase shift when the light passes through the MPDA plasma once, we adopt a multi-reflection optical system in this interferometer to improve the phase sensitivity. We mea...
