Signal amplitude effects on reflectometer studies of density turbulence in tokamaks

The effect of amplitude fluctuations on reflectometer measurements of density turbulence has been investigated through comparison of reflectometry and Langmuir probes on the CCT and DIII-D tokamaks. Power spectra, turbulent radial correlation lengths, and root-mean square magnitude variations (at the H-mode transition) of the homodyne reflectometer signal (given by , which depends strongly on the amplitude E and nonlinearly on the phase ), show good agreement with Langmuir probes. The homodyne signal is found to be dominated by the amplitude fluctuations and not by the phase for high density fluctuation levels. Correspondingly, power spectra and correlation lengths deduced from the phase data alone show agreement with the homodyne signal only at low density fluctuation levels. It is concluded that for these plasma parameters the homodyne signal is closely representative of the density fluctuation behaviour and that this response is related to the reflectometer amplitude E. This correspondence of the homodyne signal and density fluctuations is in contrast to most theoretical/modelling work which has typically concentrated on the phase. A one-dimensional simulation of resonance absorption effects upon the amplitude and phase of a reflectometer is presented as an example of how amplitude fluctuations might arise due to processes internal to the plasma. The implications of these results and the connection to theory are discussed.

密度ゆらぎの反射計測定に対する振幅ゆらぎの影響が、CCTおよびDIII-Dトカマクにおける反射計測とラングミュアプローブの比較を通じて調査された。ホモダイン反射計信号(これは振幅Eに強く依存し、位相に非線形に依存する)のパワースペクトル、乱流径方向相関長、および二乗平均平方根振幅変動(Hモード遷移時)は、ラングミュアプローブと良好な一致を示した。ホモダイン信号は、高密度ゆらぎレベルにおいて、位相ではなく振幅ゆらぎによって支配されることが見出された。対応して、位相データのみから導出されたパワースペクトルおよび相関長は、低密度ゆらぎレベルにおいてのみホモダイン信号と一致を示す。これらのプラズマパラメータにおいて、ホモダイン信号は密度ゆらぎの挙動を密接に代表しており、この応答は反射計の振幅Eに関連していると結論づけられる。ホモダイン信号と密度ゆらぎのこの対応関係は、典型的には位相に焦点を当ててきたほとんどの理論・モデリング研究とは対照的である。プラズマ内部の過程に起因して振幅ゆらぎがどのように生じ得るかの例として、反射計の振幅および位相に対する共鳴吸収効果の一次元シミュレーションが提示される。これらの結果の含意と理論との関連について議論される。
