We present here our recent results on the development and testing of first mirrors for divertor Thomson scattering diagnostics in ITER. The system is based several large-scale (tens centimetres) that will be located an area with extremely high (3–10%) concentration contaminants (mainly hydrocarbons) main concern to prevent deposition-induced loss mirror reflectivity spectral range 1000–1064 nm. suggested design mirrors—a high-reflective metal layer a Si substrate oxide coating—combines...
This paper describes the challenges of Thomson Scattering implementation in ITER divertor and evaluates capability to satisfy project requirements related range measured electron temperature density. A number aspects data interpretation are also discussed. Although this assessment proposed solutions considered terms compatibility, they may be some use currently operating magnetic confinement devices.
Almost all optical diagnostic systems in ITER will require the implementation of mirror recovery and protection systems. Plasma cleaning is considered to be most promising technique for removal metal deposits from surfaces. The engineering physical aspects RF discharge application continuous or periodic plasma treatment are discussed with a focus on under conditions. ion flux parameters obtained capacitively coupled (CC) were measured mock-up system. uniformity sputtering CC without magnetic...
The electron component is the main channel for anomalous power loss and indicator of transient processes in tokamak plasma. temperature density profiles mainly determine operational mode machine. This imposes demanding requirements on precision spatial temporal resolution Thomson scattering (TS) measurements. Measurements such high with good accuracy a large fusion device as ITER using TS encounter number physical problems. 40 keV spectrum has significant blue shift. Due to transmission...
The lifetime of front optical components unprotected from reactor grade plasmas may be very short due to intensive contamination with carbon and beryllium-based materials eroded by the plasma beryllium walls tiles. Deposits result in a significant reduction spectral alterations transmission. In addition, even rather thin transparent deposits can dramatically change shape reflectance spectra, especially for mirrors low reflectivity, such as W or Mo. distortion data obtained various...
