Design and Calibration of a Polychromator for the Thomson Scattering at Wendelstein 7-X
نویسندگان
چکیده
On Wendelstein 7-X, electron density and electron temperature profiles are planned to be measured by Thomson scattering. The specific system employs fiber bundles for the scattered light which is detected by means of a five-channel polychromator system. The detection system is assembled and its components are characterized. A calibration technique employing a super-continuum light source is assessed by comparison with a calibration technique using an optical parametric oscillator laser system. The characterization is preparing further diagnostic optimization studies employing a virtual instrument.

A Self-calibration Method for the Edge Thomson Scattering Diagnostic in ITER
Calibration of spectral transmissivity of the collection and transmission optics is one of the most crucial issues for the Thomson scattering diagnostic system. Radioactivation of the vacuum vessel in ITER makes it difficult to calibrate spectral transmissivity in areas near the vacuum vessel. By using an additional calibration laser whose wavelength differs from those of the diagnostic laser a...

Significant loss in transmissivity of the fiber used for the 18 years operations in JT-60U has been discovered: thereby making optimization of the filter configuration in the polychromator in Thomson scattering system for the high performance plasmas in JT-60SA is an essential task. The loss in the optical components induced by radiation from neutrons and γ-rays in particular needs to be examin...

Detailed calibrations of the Madison Symmetric Torus polychromator Thomson scattering system have been made suitable for electron temperature fluctuation measurements. All calibrations have taken place focusing on accuracy, ease of use and repeatability, and in situ measurements wherever possible. Novel calibration processes have been made possible with an insertable integrating sphere (ISIS), ...
متن کاملComparative studies to the design of the interferometer at W7-X with respect to technical boundary conditions
For the optimisation of the beam line configuration of the multi-channel interferometer at the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator the probabilistic approach of Bayesian experimental design (BED) is applied. Parameters of physical interest are directly implemented as design criteria. The quality of the design is analysed according to its expected information gain (expected utility) about the parameters...
