Thomson Scattering, Interferometry and Polarimetry on C-2
September 2012 | B. Deng | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
The 9 point Thomson scattering diagnostic system is routinely providing Te profile measurements in C-2. Density profile measurement capability is being developed.
Long-path second-harmonic interferometer with nanosecond time resolution: reliable diagnostic tool for electron density measurement in pulsed plasma devices
September 2012 | T. Del Rosso | Optics Letters | Paper
We describe the performance of a second-harmonic interferometer (SHI) to measure, on an optical path exceeding 12 m, the electron plasma density of two plasmoids formed in separate theta-pinch chambers and then merged in a central compression chamber after undergoing acceleration and compression.
