Vector tomography applications in plasma diagnostics
نویسنده
چکیده
The application of tomographic techniques for the study of vector fields has been demonstrated only in the last few years. We show its potential for remote sensing of plasma vector fields such as the fluid velocity v and the magnetic field B using Doppler and Zeeman spectroscopy. Simulations suggest the possibility of time-resolved reconstruction of ion velocity flow fields and poloidal magnetic fields from direct measurements of the low-order spectral moments of line-integrated spectroscopic measurements. Other possible applications of vector tomography are examined.

On Use of Semiconductor Detector Arrays on COMPASS Tokamak
Semiconductor detector arrays are widely used in high-temperature plasma diagnostics. They have a fast response, which allows observation of many processes and instabilities in tokamaks. In this paper, there are reviewed several diagnostics based on semiconductor arrays as cameras, AXUV photodiodes (referred often as fast “bolometers”) and detectors of both soft X-rays and visible light install...

Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
