A three-dimensional Gaussian-beam ray-tracing program for designing interferometerÕpolarimeter plasma diagnostics
We have developed a three-dimensional Gaussian-beam ray-tracing program to aid in the design of infrared, far-infrared, and millimeter wave interferometer and polarimeter diagnostic systems for magnetic confinement fusion relevant plasma physics experiments. An overview of the program is presented along with a description of the ray-tracing algorithm. A model is developed for the case of diffra...
متن کاملQuasi-Ray Gaussian Beam Algorithm for Time-Harmonic Two-Dimensional Scattering by Moderately Rough Interfaces
Gabor-based Gaussian beam (GB) algorithms, in conjunction with the complex source point (CSP) method for generating beam-like wave objects, have found application in a variety of high-frequency wave propagation and diffraction scenarios. Of special interest for efficient numerical implementation is the noncollimated narrow-waisted species of GB, which reduces the computationally intensive compl...
متن کاملA collaboration opportunity for next step tokamaks: ITER and DEMO (specifically a next generation diagnostic: the pulsed polarimetry technique)
Area: Diagnostics for future burning tokamak devices and stellarators. Benefit: An opportunity to develop compelling technology in the area of plasma diagnostics allowing internal field, n e and T e measurements on next step tokamaks and stellarators. Questions: 1) What can the US do in regards to ITER and DEMO to allow us to be an integral player, to play a bigger role? 2) Our importance withi...
متن کاملDense plasma diagnostics with an amplitude-division soft-x-ray laser interferometer based on diffraction gratings.
We report the demonstration of an amplitude-division soft-x-ray interferometer that can be used to generate high-contrast interferograms at the wavelength of any of the saturated soft-x-ray lasers (5.6-46.9 nm) that are available at present. The interferometer, which utilizes grazing-incidence diffraction gratings as beam splitters in a modified Mach-Zehnder configuration, was used in combinati...
متن کاملHeterodyne Interferometer/Polarimeter for Sensing Alfvén Activity in the H-1 Heliac
A phase-sensitive heterodyne interferometer/polarimeter for measurement of electron densities and plasma fluctuation structures is described. The instrument utilizes a frequency swept-source to provide a frequency offset for heterodyne detection methods. Only two detectors are required to obtain the interferometric and polarimetric information which is encoded as a phase modulation on the inter...
