Design Proposal for a JFT-2M TV Thomson Scattering System

摘要

A design for the optics of a TV Thomson scattering system for JFT-2M is presented, which will measure electron temperature and density profiles having up to 82 points, spanning the horizontal mid plane of the machine. A detailed design for the collecting optics is presented since it is critical to the success of the system. It is shown that the Bouwers type catadioptric collection optics can be color corrected allowing the system to be used over a wide wavelength range. The laser requirements are presented and are easily met with commercially available systems. Two sketches of spectrometer designs are presented for two different sizes of detector. The detector gating and readout requirements are presented and can be met in existing detector systems. The importance of developing larger area detectors is emphasized and a possible detector system is presented. (ERA citation 14:007098)
