Intensity interferometry for measurement of electron temperature fluctuations in fusion plasmas

S Sattler, H J Hartfuss1993年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

Transport-relevant fluctuations of the electron temperature can in principle be measured by radiometry of the electron cyclotron emission (ECE), but they might be buried completely in natural fluctuations of the ECE due to the thermal nature of this radiation. The spatial coherence properties of thermal radiation can be utilized in correlation experiments to overcome the principal difficulties and to make temperature fluctuations accessible to measurement. On the basis of these considerations an intensity interferometer was built and installed on the Wendelstein 7-AS stellarator. The interferometer consists of two identical but independent multichannel heterodyne radiometers viewing the same emitting plasma volume along crossed lines of sight. The angle between the sightlines is chosen sufficiently large to decorrelate the natural fluctuations of the radiation field. A quasithermal microwave radiation source is used to test the intensity interferometer and to simulate the correlation experiment. Measurements of the spatial coherence and the statistical properties are in agreement with theoretical predictions.

輸送に関連する電子温度の揺動は、原理的には電子サイクロトロン放射(ECE)の放射測定によって測定可能であるが、この放射の熱的性質により、自然のECE揺動の中に完全に埋もれてしまう可能性がある。熱放射の空間コヒーレンス特性は、相関実験において、この原理的な困難を克服し、温度揺動の測定を可能にするために利用することができる。これらの考察に基づき、強度干渉計が構築され、Wendelstein 7-ASステラレータに設置された。この干渉計は、交差する視線に沿って同じ発光プラズマ体積を観測する、2つの独立した同一の多チャンネルヘテロダイン放射計で構成されている。視線間の角度は、放射場の自然揺動の相関をなくすために十分大きく選ばれている。準熱的マイクロ波放射源を用いて、強度干渉計の試験と相関実験のシミュレーションが行われた。空間コヒーレンスと統計的性質の測定結果は、理論的予測と一致している。
