1. Introduction

The electromagnetic wave (EMW) with the freuency close to the electron cyclotron frequency (We call the EMW as ECW) is absorbed at the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) layer via the electron cyclotron damping in the linear theory. For the heating of the tokamak plasmas, this local power deposition is favourable for the efficient core plasma heating, or the current profile control to improve the MHD stability. Due to the local power deposition and the good propagation character­istic of the EMW from the plasma edge region (absence of the evanescent region), the impurity problem may be minimized in the ECH. Besides, there is a possibility of driving the toroidal current which has a role of confining the tokamak plasma.

28 GHz ECH was first studied ' ' in the JFT-2 (R = 90 cm, a = 25 cm) tokamak of JAERI. Electron heatings by the fundamental resonance (to = u> ,oi : electron cyclotron frequency) were investigated by launching X, 0, and TE„„ mode. Efficient electron heating and localized power deposition were varified. It was shown that the mode conversion at the upper hybrid resonance layer contributes to the heating by the off-center ECR layer. On the other hand, density limit of heating (n _ ~ 1.5 x 10 1 3 cm" 3) by the EMW was observed in consistent with the theoretical cutoff density. Therefore, for the heating of the higher density plasma, the EMW of the higher frequency has to be launched in the higher magnetic field, or the harmonic electron cyclotron frequency heating has to be employed.

From these points of view (as will be described in chap. 2), 60 GHz gyrotron was chosen for the ECH of the JFT-2M tokamak machine which has a noncircular plasma cross section (R = 131 cm, a = 35 x 55 cm) . That is a maximum frequency now available in commerce. The JFT-2M tokamak operates with the toroidal magnetic field of less than B = 1.5 T, because the capacity of the power supply is restricted. Therefore, the 2nd harmonic heating (w = 2u) ) was taken. The 2nd ECR layer is at the center of the plasma column when Bt is 1.07 T.

The aims of the first stage ECH experiment on the JFT-2M tokamak which was carried in Nov.-Dec. last year were to investigate

(1) the effects of the ECH to the current drive./ramp up by the lower hybrid wave (LHW), and (2) electron heating by the 2nd harmonic extraordinary mode

1. Introduction

官1ee1ectrornagnetic wave (EMW) with the freuency c10se to the

e1ectron cyc10tron frequency (We ca11 the EMW as ECW) is absorbed at

the e1ectron cyc10tron resonance (ECR) 1ayer via the e1ectron cyc10tron

damping in the 1inear theory. For the heating of the tokamak plasmas,

this 10ca1 power deposition is favourab1e for the efueient core p1asma

heating, or the current profi1e contro1 to improve the MHD stabi1ity.

Due to the 10ca1 power deposition and the good propagation character-

istic of the EMW from th8 plasma edge region (absence of the evanescent

region), the impurity prob1em may be minimizcd in the ECH. Besides,

there is a possibility of driving the toroida1 current \~hích has a

ro1e of con:ining the tokamalぇ p1asma.1 )~4)

28 GHz ECH was first studied-f • f in th巴 JFT-2 (R ~ 90 cm, a 25

cm) tokamal王 ofJAERI. E1ectron heatings by the fundamenta1 resonance

(ω=ω ,ωe1ectron cyc10tron frequency) were investigated by ce ce

1aunching X, 0, and TE02

rnode・ Efficiente1ectron heating and

10ca1ized power deposition were varified. It was shown that thc rnode

conversion at the upper hybrid resonance 1ay巴rcontributes to the

heating by the off-center ECR 1ayer. On the other hand, density

1irnit of heating (n_f¥ ~ 1.5 x 1013 cm-3) by the EM¥.l was observed in eO -

consistent with the theoretica1 cutoff density. Therefore, for the

heating of the higher density p1asma, the EMW of the higher frequency

has to be 1aunched in th巴 high巴rmagnetic fie1d, or the harmonic

electron cyc10tron frequency heating has to be ernp1oyed.

GHz gyrotron was chosen for the ECH of the JFT-2M tokarnak machine

which has a noncircular plasma cross section (R 131 cm, a 35 x 55

JFT-2M tokamak operates with the toroida1 magnetic fie1d of 1ess than

Bt 1.5 T, because the capacity of the power supply is restricted.

百1erefore,the 2nd harmonic heating (ω2ω) was taken. 官1e2nd ECR ce

1ayer is at the center of the plasma co1umn when Bt is 1.07τ.

The aims of the first stage ECH experirnent on the JFT-2M tokamak

which was carried in Nov.-Dec. 1ast year were to investigate

(1) the effects of the ECH to the current driveJramp up by

the 10wer hvbrid wave (LHW), and

(X-mode) ECH. The first stage experimental results are reported briefly in the paper submitted to the 12th European Conf. on Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics which is given in the appendix.

We describe the 60 GHz ECH system of the JFT-2M tokamak, by putting the stress on the basic design concepts and performance tests. Therefore the descriptions of the high voltage power supply or super conducting magnet system are minimum.

The ECW is launched from a horn antenna. The wave launch by the horn antenna has an advantage that the wave power can be radiated into a vacuum region. Therefore the antenna loading (matching) as is the important problem in the case of coupling by the loop antenna is not a problem in the launch of the ECW.

The points of the design of the ECH system may be summarized as follows.

(1) How to choose the launch angle with respect to the magnetic field, and launched mode (physics consideration). (2) How to minimize the rf transmission loss between the gyrotron and the antenna. (3) How to avoid the break down in the waveguides for the transmission of high rf power density. (4) How to know the exact imput power to the plasma.

These points are described in this report. In Chap. 2, the physics consideration are presented. In Chap. 3,

the basic design concepts and specifications of each microuave components are described. Gyrotron, super conducting magnet, power supply system and gas supply are also described briefly in this chapter. In Chap. 4, the results of the cold and hot tests of the whole rf transmission system are reported. Finally the experimental results of the first stage ECH of a tokamak plasma are given in the Appendix.

The cutoff density expressed by (2.31) ~ (2.33) is depicted in Fig. 2-1. The cutoff density of the X-mode is represented by the solid line and that for the O-mode is represented by the broken line. As shown, the cutoff density decreases as n^. The cutoff density of the O-mode is larger than that of the X-mode except the s = 1 case.

For the perpendicular propagation (n - = 0 ) , n = n. , the cutoff frequency is expressed by 10 (O-mode), w , CO (X-mode). The frequency dependence of the cutoff density n is depicted in Fig. 2-2. The cutoff density n is a quadrature of the frequency. For example, the cutoff density of the O-mode is n = 4.46 x 1 0 x 3 cm" 3 for S = 2 and f = 60 GHz.

It is desireable to choose the frequency as large as possible, and the injection angle should near -=• from the point of view of the cutoff density. But, further consideration about the damping rate at the ECR layer is important. That point of view is discussed in the next section.

2.2 Consideration about the Power Absorption at the Electron Cyclotron Resonance Layer

For the local efficient heating, a large energy absorption rate in single path at the ECR layer (to = S w ) is required. The absorption rate is a function of the launch angle with respect to the stationary magnetic field namely a function of the parallel refractive index •&*,

harmonic number S and plasma density n , once the wave frequency is fixed. The absorbed power in single path P , at the ECR layer is calculated using the geometrical optics approximation.

The calculated refractive index N'(= Ren.) is depicted in Fig. 2-3 (a) ~ (c). For the low density plasma, Re n ± is nearly 1.

The calculated absorption rate in single path across the ECR layer P ,/P is shown in Fig. 2-4 (a) ~ (c). The frequency of the wave is fixed to f = 60 GHz and the electron temperature at the ECR layer to T e = 600 eV in the calculation. The angle 8 and density n e are taken as the variables. As shown in the figure, the absorption of the X-mode is large for w = u (s = 1) and w = 2u (a = 2) but small ° ce ce for s £ 3. The absorption of the 0-mode is small (a ?ew per cent) except s = 1. By the perpendicular injection (0 ~ 90°) the 2nd harmonic X-mode is absorbed almost completely at the ECR layer. Namely, the local power deposition which is necessary for the profile control is possible by the 2nd harmonic heating. A small absorption at the ECR layer is unfavourable for the local heating, because the power deposition profile on the ECR layer becomes broad by the divergence of the beam due to the multiple reflections at the metallic chamber wall.

2.3 Summary

1. Consideration from the point of view of the cut off density, the frequency of the wave has to be as large as possible and the perpendicular injection should be taken. If the wave frequency is fixed in the perpendicular injection, the cutoff density n c of the EMW has a relation as follows (c.f. Fig. 2-1),

n (S = 1) > n > n (S - > « ) > • • • > n (S = 3) > n (S = 2). c,x c,o c,x c,x c,x 2. Consideration from the point of view of the absorption at the ECR layer, X-mode of the lower harmonics (S S 2) should be launcled for the large absorption rate at the ECR layer. In the launch of the 2nd harmonic X-mode, near perpendicular injection should be taken for the large absorption at the ECR layer.

3. Though the fundamental (S = 1) X-mode has large n and large absorption rate, the injection should be at the high field side of the torus and should be launched obliquely. But, from the technical point of view, the inside launch is more difficult than the outside launch.

4. The maximum frequency now available is 60 GHz which corresponds to the electron cyclotron frequency at B =2,14 T (S = 1) or B = 1.07 T.

3.1 RF Transmission System

3.1.1 General Design Concepts of the RF Transmission System

By the study in the previous chapter, the following requirements are imposed on the ECH system

1. RF frequency f = 60 GHz (w = 2w ) 2. Launch angle 9 = 80° (n, = 0.17) 3. Gaussian-like beam profile 4. Pure mode (either X-n:ode or 0-mode) should be launched

-> TEn mode The output mode of the 60 GHz gyrotron (Varian VGE-8060) is almost (~94 %) polarized in the circular TE02 mode. Therefore, to launch the TEii mode, a conversion of the TE02 mode is necessary. The mode con­verters for this use are the key components of the rf transmission system.

From the point of view of the gyrotron operation, the gyrotron should be set apart from the tokamak machine to avoid the effect of the error field. Because a transverse magnetic field at the gyrotron cavity affects the oscillation. The transverse field should be less than ~40 gauss (< 0.02 % of the longitudinal magnetic field) at the cavity. Besides, in our case, there was no room to set the gyrotron tank around the JFT-2M tokamak machine. Therefore the gyrotron is set ~20 m apt>rt from the tokamak machine. And the total length of the transmission line becomes ~33 m from the gyrotron window to the vacuum barrier window of the JFT-2M machine. Then, the loss in the transmis­sion line becomes a severe problem.

To minimize the loss, an oversized waveguide and TE01 mode are chosen for the transmission. The oversized waveguide has low joule loss. Fundamental waveguide can not be used for such a high frequency. The loss in 30 m becomes ~85 % at 60 GHz. TE<u mode has the smallest joule loss in the circular waveguide, besides it has the lowest peak field which is preferable to avoid the break down in the waveguide.

In conclusion, the successive mode conversion as TE02 mode •*

TEpi mode •*• TEn mode is necessary (Fig. 3-1). This scheme was first proposed in the ECH system of the Doublet III tokamak '* .

verters for this use are the key cornponents of the rf transmission

system.

Frorn the point of view of the gyrotron operation, the gyrotron shou1d be set apart from the tokarnak machine to avoid the effect of the

error field. Because a transverse magnetic fie1d at the gyrotron

cavity affects the oscillation. The transverse fie1d shou1d be 1ess

than ~40 gauss (< 0.02 % of the longitudina1 magnetic field) at the

~20 m ap<xt frorn th巳 tokamakmachine. And the tota1 length of the

transrnission 1ine becomes -33 m from the gyrotron window to the vacuum

barrier window of the JFT-2M machine. Then, the 10ss in the transmis-

The attenuation coefficients of the various modes of 60 GHz in the waveguide of radius a = 13.9 mm obtained using (3.3), (3.4) are given in Table 3-2. The higher modes have even larger losses than these modes. It is seen that the joule loss is suppressed to less than 4 % in the circular waveguide of radius a = 13.9 mm (WRC727D14) by using TEoi mode.

Since the TMn mode degenerates with the TEoi mode (X/ii\ = Xr D 1i)» the azimuthal perturbation (bending) of the TEoi mode causes easily a generation of TMn mode which has a large loss as given in the Table 3-2. Therefore the bending of the straight waveguide should be strictly prohibited.

(2) Field Strength in the Waveguide and Avoidance of the Breakdown In this section, the maximum electric field strength in the

waveguide is calculated. And the critical power at which the field strength exceeds the break down voltage of the air 2.9 x 101* V/cm is obtained.

The azimuthal component of the electric field of the TE mode 13) n B 1

The attenuation coefficients of the various modes of 60 GHz in the

waveguide of radius a 13.9 mm obtained using (3.3), (3.4) are given

in Tabl己 3四 2. Th己 highermodes have even 1arg己r10sses then these

modes. It is seen that the jou1e 10ss is suppressed to less than 4 %

in the circu1ar waveguide of radius a 13.9 mm (WRC727DI4) by using

TEol mode.

Since the TMll rnode degen己rateswith the TEol mode (X(11) ; X[OI])'

the azimutha1 perturbation (bending) of the τEOl rnode causes ea6i1y a

generation of TMll rnode which has a 1arge 106s a6 given in the Tab1e

3-2. Therefore the bending of the straight wa'lTeguide shou1d be strict1y

'inn ,tnax The values of y , of the various modes are given in Table 3-1. One finds that eightly modes can propagate in the circular waveguide of radius a = 13.9 mm (WRC727D14). Five TE modes (TEoi ~ TE05) can propagate. The calculated field intensity of these modes using (3.12), is given in Table 3-3. In the calculation the power is set to 200 kW. The peak field is the lowest (7.28 kV/cm) for the TEoi mode of power 200 kW. The peak field becomes larger as the mode number n increases. The peak field of the TEos mode of power 200 kW is equal to the break down voltage of the air (29 kV/cm). Thus the high mn modes are dangerous for the break down. These high TE modes are generated by the radial perturbation of the TEQI or TE02 mode. But by carefully designing the TE02 •*• TEoi mode converter and the transmission line, the generation of the high n mode is suppressed sufficiently.

A critical power transferred in the waveguide of radius a is obtained from (3.13) by setting E, as the break down electric . ep.max field of the air (29 kV/cm). For TEoi mode in the waveguide of radius a = 13.9 mm, the critical power is 3.1 MW. Therefore, in our case, the maximum transferred power (200 kW) is - yp- of the critical power. However, this calculation assumes an ideal condition, but actually the breakdown voltage at the material surface (waveguide surface, window surface) may be lower. Therefore the insulation gas (SFG of pressure < 1.3 atm) is used in our system. The critical power is raised by a factor two by this insulation. Actually, without the gas, we couldn't have carried out the experiment in the last year, because the break down occured frequently in the waveguide without the insulation gas.

The power density in the waveguide is 33 kW/cm* when 200 kW is transferred. The capability of transmission of the high power density is one of the merits of ECH.

Therefore ~88 % of the TEoi mode is converted to the other modes in the 90° bend. To decrease the mode conversion, the degeneration of the TEoi mode and TMn mode has to be resolved. For that purpose, the corrugated bends are used in our system. The corrugated bends are described in Sec. 3.1.3 (2).

3.1.2 Constitution of the RF Transmission System A schematic diagram of the rf transmission system of the JEF-2M

tokamak is shown in Fig. 3-2. A 60 GHz gyrotorn produces TE 02 mode in circular waveguide of diameter 63.5 mm (2.5 inch). The rf frequency and general power is detected at the sampler just above the gyrotron. The break down in the gyrotron is detected by the arc detecter in the sampler. The unintensional modes trapped between the raised cosine taper (63.5 mm - 27.8 mm) and the up-taper in the gyrotron are filtered out by a mode filter which is water cooled. The forward power and reflected power are measured by a TE02 mode directional coupler.

TE02 "*• TE01 mode conversion occurs at a TE02 - TE01 mode converter. TE01 mode is transmitted to the tokamak machine through corrugated 90° bends and straight waveguides. Arc detecters are placed in between. Going through the DC break and a raised cosine taper (27.8 mm •> 63.5 m m ) , the TE01 mode enters in the vacuum duct through a vacuum window. Then the waveguide is tapered down to 19.1 mm. Finally, by a TE01 - TEn mode converter the TE01 mode is converted into TEn mode and launched from a conical horn antenna.

Water load with an up taper to measure the rf power can be connected either before the vacuum window of the machine (point E) or after the directional coupler above the gyrotron (point D).

The various diameter changes are introduced because the mode converters and the corrugated waveguide bends can be made short only at small diameter. Whereas it is desirable to increase the diameter at the vacuum window to keep the power density and field low (3.2 kV/cm).

SF6 gas is used for the insulation to avoid the breakdown in the transmission system. It was found that SF6 gas is indispensable to avoid the breakdown in the waveguide.

The results of the calculations are shown in Fig. 3-3, 4. Fig. 3-3 shows the length dependence of the conversion fraction f(%). The mode conversion and reconversion appears one after another. And the power to the parasitic modes changes as the length. Therefore, an optimum length of the converter exists. TE12 mode is strongly excited in the TE01 •+ TE11 mode converter, and at the optimum length, the power of the TEj.2 mode is almost equal to the power of the unconverted TE01 mode (~4 %) . Figure 3-4(a), (b) shows the A dependence of the conversion fraction f. Around the optimum X, f does not change much by the change within one wavelevgth (5 mm for 60 GHz) of the wave. Figure 3-4(c) (d) shows the dependence of the

Aa perturbation amplitude 6 (6 = — , a: unperturbed radius) to f and the optimum length Z . As 6 becomes large, the optimum length becomes short, but the conversion to the desired mode decreases and conversion to the undesired parasitic modes increases. Therefore, the length of the converters can not be made too short by increasing <5. Figure

3-4(e)(f) shows the frequency dependence of f. These mode converters have a frequency band width of a few GHz.

The shape and dimension of the converters used in our system are given in Fig. 3-5(a)(b). The TE02 * TEoi converter has a dumbbell shape, and has a radial perturbation of a sine curve which decreases the radial mode number from 2 to 1. Whereas the TEoi •* TEn converter has a meander shape, and has an azimuthal perturbation of a cosine curve which increases the azinuthal mode number from 0 to 1.

The conversion rate f of the converters was measured (the circuit is shown in Fig. 3-6). The results are shown in Fig. 3-5(a)(b). We found that the measured conversion fraction f is in a good agreement with the calculation. The obtained results are summerized in Table 3-4.

(2) Corrugated 90° Bends The bends which have periodic annular corrugation in the wall of

the guides are used to avoid the undesired mode conversion of TEoi mode to TMn mode. These corrugations affect the T M m modes which have degeneracy with T E o n modes, and resolve the degenracy. Therefore the mode conversion loss is reduced.

Dimendion of the bend is given in Fig. 3-7. Thre^ bends are used. The total loss is quite large as 31.6 t . Improvement is now underway.

(3) Raised Casine Tapers An overmoded linear taper needs a long length to suppress an

unitentional mode conversion for the transmission of the rf> wave. Therefore the raised cosine tapers are used. For the transmission of the TEoi mor'e, T E o n modes (especially TE02 mode) have to be suppressed.

13) The shape of the taper is obtained from the following equations

& J _ = ( J L _ 1 i n 2 7 r J L ) inM Rl \ pi 2TT pi / Ri

R : radius of a taper at the axial coordinate Z. Ri : radius of one end of a taper R2 : radius of the another end of a taper

The measured insertion loss is less than 0.05dB (58,2 ~ 61.2 GHz) and reflection is less than -47dB (VSWR < 1.01, 58.2 ~ 61.2 GHz).

(4) Straight Waveguides The straight waveguides of radius 27.79 mm (Fig. 3-9) with

Shively type flange with copper gasket for SF 6 gas insulation are used. The insertion loss is less than 0.05dB. The measured total loss in ~21 m is —O./JB. The deflection of the setting of the straight waveguide is within 2 mm.

The calculation of the loss of the straight waveguide is given in sec. 3.1.1(1).

(5) Vacuum Window The vacuum barrier window (Fig. 3-10 and Table 3-5) is made of

BeO ceramic which is the same as the gyrotron output window. BeO dust and fumes are highly toxic, and one has to take care not to break it when one handles it.

(6) DC Break/Mode Filter This component has the following two functions.

1. Insulation of the vessel potential. 2. Filter of the non-circular mode.

The specifications are given in Table 3-6. It is composed of teflon insulation with 4 conducting plates (Fig. 3-11). An rf power absorber is wound around the plates. But this absorber was found to be burnt after the one month experiment. A new DC Break/Mode Filter which uses cooling water as the absorber is under testing.

(7) Horn Antenna The rf wave in TEn mode is launched from a conical horn

antenna (Fig. 3-12). The measured full half width at 3dB point is 8.8° in E-plane and 7.7° in H-plane. The narrow beam divergence was obtained by putting a spacer between the TEoi •* TEn mode converter and the horn antenna. The spacer was put in to optimize the phase of TE12 mode which is generated from TEoi mode in the mode converter. Without the spacer, measured pattern was 11° in E-plane and 20° in H-plane. Thus the radiation pattern is a sum of the radiation patterns of TEii, TEi2» TEoi and TMn modes. The measured ratio of the electric field of these modes at the output of the TEoi "*" TEn mode converter

In considering the TE12 mode generated froni TEn mode at the circular taper of the conical horn antenna, the ratio of the T E 1 2 mode becomes 0.36. By assuming E(TMn) = 0.14, and by changing the phase of the TE12 mode, one can calculate the radiation pattern of the conical horn antenna. By changing the phase of the TEj.2 mode, the calculated beam width changes from 8° to 20° in H-plane and 9° to 13° in E-plane. These values are consistent with the measured values.

(8) Arc Detecters Four arc detecters are used (Fig. 3-2) for the detection of the

breakdown in the waveguide or in the vacuum-harrier window. Sensor is a photo diode and an optical fiber. A check lamp is installed for a test.

Usually, waveguide arc causes a burst in the reflected power monitored at the TE02 mode directional coupler and interlock of the excessive reflected power works also.

The occurence of arc fast-swiches off the beam current of the gyrotron by the regulator tube (X-2062 K ) .

power supply when the excessive reflected power is detected, 3. monitor the general rf power and frequency of the output wave, 4. monitor the arc in the gyrotron, 5. filter out the non-circular modes.

(1) Sampler/Arc detector and monitor circuit of the general power and frequensy The sampler has a sensitivity to not only TE02 mode but also to

the other modes due to a hole coupling. Therefore the exact power of the TE02 mode is detected by a TE02 mode directional coupler ((4) in Fig. 3-13). The frequency meter ((11) in Fig. 3-13) is remote controlled at the main control panel in the control room. The rf power in the circuit is measured by the flat broad band detectors (Hyghes 47324H-1211, (10)).

A dip of the rf signal through the frequency meter is also monitored at the main control panel. The frequency meter is a two-port device with a tunable cavity. Tuning is done by a robust which is controlled by a pulse motor which is controlled at the main control panel.

(2) Mode Filter The mode filter eliminates the non-circular mode and the higher

circular modes which are trapped between the taper and gyrotron. These modes are dangeraous not only for the break down at the gyrotron window but also for the gyrotron operation. The gyrotron operation is very sensitive to the reflected power.

(3) Raised Cosine Tapers See sec. 3.1.3(3).

(4) TE02 mode Directional Coupler The power of the forward TE02 wave and the reflected TE02 wave

are detected by a TE02 mode directional coupler. The coupling is ~60 dB. That means that 200 mW out of 200 kW is coupled to each arms. The specifications are given in Table 3-9 and outline is given in Fig. 3-16.

The directionality is important to distinguish between the forward power and reflected power. The mode selectivity is also an important factor for the selective detection of the TE02 mode. The selectivity of the TE02 mode against the TE22 mode which most affects the output from the arm, is 12 dB in a calculation. The TE02 selectivity to the other mode is higher as shown in Fig. 3-17.

detection are shown in Fig. 3-13(a) and Fig. 3-18(a),(b). These are very simple circuits using a few microwave components such as tapers, attenuators, bends and detectors.

The attenuation of the rf signal between the output flange of the arm of the TE 02 mode directional coupler to the input flange of the detector is mainly due to the attenuator and partly due to the waveguides connecting these components as seen in Fig. 3-18(a). The attenuation was measured and the results are shown in Fig. 3-20(a)(b). Abscissa is the reading of the attenuator. The attenuation includes that by the intervening waveguides. The measured characteristic of the detector is shown in Fig. 3-19. We use the detectors with 50fi terminations. The characteristics of the detectors used in each arms are given in Fig. 3-20(c)(d).

The total attenuation is the sum of the attenuation (coupling) at the arm of the TE02 mode directional coupler (as given in Table 3-9) and the attenuation by the attenuator and the waveguide. One obtains the forward or reflected rf power from the output voltage of the detector using these curves in Fig. 3-20 and the measured attenuation (coupling) at the directional coupler given in Table 3-9.

The frequency measurement circuit is shown in Fig. 3-18(b). The frequency is measured at the Sampler/Arc Detector above the gyrotron. The reading of the frequency meter appears as a voltage at the main control panel. The calibration curve is given in Fig. 3-21(a). By the measurement of the maximum dip of the detector output, one can obtain the correct frequency of the rf wave. An example is shown in Fig. 3-21(b). One can obtain the accurate frequency with this system.

(6) Water Load and Calorimeter The total rf power (TE02 mode and other modes) is measured by a

water load (Fig. 3-22) and calorimeter. There are two methods to measure the rf power. First method is that to continue to pulse the short rf pulses by the internal mode operation (sec. 3.5), and measure the saturated steady-state temperature increase AT (deg.) with the constant water flow rate F (g/sec), The rf power is calculated using AT , F and duty (pulse length/pulse period) n from the following equation.

very simple circllits using a few microw8ve components such as tapers,

attenuators, bends and detectors.

The attenuation of the rf signal between the output flange of the

arm of the TEo2 mode directional coupler ~o the input flange of the

detector is mainly due to the attenuator and partly due to th巴

waveguides connecting these compon己ntsas seen in Fig. 3-18 (a). The

attenuation was measured and the results are shown in Fig. 3-20(a)(b).

Abscissa is the reading of the attenuator. The attelluation includes

that by the intervening waveguides. The measur~d chHracteristic of the

detector is shown in Fig. 3-19. We use the detectors "1ith 50S1

terminations. 官1echaracteristics of the detectors used in each arms

are given in Fig. 3-20(c)(d).

The total attenuation is the sum of the attenuation (coupling) at

the arm of the TEo2 mode directional coupler (as given in Table 3-9)

and the attenuation by the attenuator and the waveguide. One obtains

the forward or reflected rf power from the output voltage of the

detector using these curves in Fig. 3-20 and the rneasured attenuation

(coupling) at the directional c∞pler given in Table 3-9.

百1efrequency rneasurernent circuit is shown in Fig. 3-18(b). 官1e

frequency is rneasured at the Sarnpler/Arc D巴tectorabove the gyrotron.

The reading of the frequency meter appears as a voltage at the rnain

control panel. 百1ecalibration curve is given in Fig. 3-21(a). By the

rneasurernent of the rnaxinrurn dip of the detector output, one can obtain

the correct fr巴quencyof the rf wave. An exarnple is shown in Fig.

3-21(b). One can obtain the accurate frequency with this systern.

(6) Water Load and Calorimeter

The total rf power (TEo2 mode and other modes) is rneasured by a

water load (Fig. 3-22) and calorimeter. There are two rnethods to

measure the rf power. First method i8 that to continue to pulse the

short rf pulses by the internal mode operation (sec. 3.5), and measure

the saturated steady-state temperature increase ~Tw (deg.) with the

constant water flow rate F (g/sec). 百lerf power is calculated using

dTw' F and duty (pulse length/pulse period) n from the following

equation.

3.3 Gyrotron

A gyrotron is used as the high power source of millimeter waves in our system. 60 GHz is the maximum frequency available commercially. The specifications of the gyrotron is given in Table 3-12. The gyrotron consists of (1) magnetron injection gun, (heater, cathode, gun anode), (2) cavity, (3) collector, (4) output window and (5) ion pumps (gun, collector). The high energy (80 keV) hollow electron beam in a strong axial magnetic field interacts with the cavity field and rf wave is produced by an electron cyclotron wave-particle interaction. The magnetron injection gun produces an 80 kV, 8A hollow electron beam with transverse velocity spread of 1.3 %. TE011/TE021 complex cairty is used and perpendicular to parallel verocity ratio V./V^ is ~-2 with a d.c. magnetic field of 24 kG.

The output wave is almost polarized in TE02 mode (~94 % ) , but parasitic higher modes are contained by a few percent.

Oscillation mode and power output can be controlled by gun anode voltage V_ , main magnet current I,,., !«„, gun magnet current Iy,,, heater voltage V. (beam current I ) and beam voltage V .

Cooling water for body, collecter and window is needed. Especially the large flow rate of 150 GPM (570 £/min) for the collecter makes the cost of the system expensive.

The super conducting magnet and high voltage power supply are described in the subsequent sections.

The typical mode map of the 60 GHz gyrotron is given in Fig. 3-23. The correct region of TE02 mode (59.7 GHz - 60.0 GHz) oscillation lies in the parameter region of the magnetic field = 22 -24 kG and V.. = 18 - 20 kV. But this region becomes smaller by the existence of error transverse magnetic field which must be strictly

The gyrotron is set vertically on a gyrotron tank in which oil for insulation and cooling is filled. 3.4 Super Conducting Magnet System

Super conducting magnet is used for the production of the longitudinal field in the gyrotron (Fig. 3-25). The cavity locates between the two main coils. In the operation of the gyrotron, #1 coil current I,,, is set larger than !,,_ and the magnetic field in the cavity has a resulting taper profile. The electron beam at the magnetron injection gun is controlled by the bucking coil (#3). The electron beam is quite sensitive to I,,, and a slight change in I,., leads to the over current of the body current.

The results of the measurements of the transverse magnetic field in the magnet are given in Fig. 3-26. The fraction of the transverse field with respect to the longitudinal field is less than 0.2 % (Fig. 3-26(a)). The direction of the transverse field is shown in Fig. 3-26(b).

3.5 Power Supply/Cooling System

The constitution of the ECH power supply/cooling system is given in Table 3-14(a). The power supply uses a capacitor bank. A modulator tube (EIMAC X2062K) is used for the beam pulse modulation. The tube has a capacity to operate a few gyrotrons. A gun anode pulse modulator is employed instead of a divider to extend the freedom of the operation (Fig. 3-27). The requirements on the stability of the beam pulse and gun anode pulse are strict (Table 3-14(b))3 because the power output is sensitive to these parameters as was shown in Table 3-12. The requirements on the rise/decay time of the beam pulse

and gun anode pulse are strict also, to suppress the oscillation in the unwanted modes which are subject to arcs, excessive body current or excessive reflected power. A crowbar circuit is installed for the protection of the gyrotron and the modulator tube.

The power supply has three kinds of the operation modes as given in Table 3-14(c). Among these modes, internal mode operation in which the repeated pulses are obtained within a limitation of the duty cycle (ex. two 1ms pulses per second), is convenient for the optimization of the control parameters of the gyrotron during the power up of the rf output.

The monitor items are given in Table 3-15. A fast shut down of the beam pulse is required for the protection

of the gyrotron in the case of various accidents. The fast protection of the gyrotron during the oscillation is done by the crowbar circuit (time constant < 2 us) and the regulator tube (time constant < 300 us) as given in Table 3-16. The most frequent interception of the pulse that occurs during the operations are body over current, rf relection and waveguide arc. A part of these accidents occur due to the gyrotron oscillation in the wrong mode. After the fireing of the crowbar, we have to wait three minutes before the next oscillation can be set. That time looses much of the time economy during the optimization of the operation or during the ECH experiment, because it needs a several shots to find the origin of the trouble, and in each miss shot one has to wait three minuits.

3.6 Gas Supply

The gas supply (Fig. 3-28) pressurizes the rf transmission system with SV$ gas to prohibit the breakdown in the waveguide. Gas inlet is equipped in the Sampler/Arc Detecter and outlet in the arc detecter near the vacuum window. A rotary vacuum pump pumps out the air in the waveguide and the SFe gas is filled in. A safety release bulb is equipped which works at the pressure of 1.3 atm for the protection of the vacuum windows.

Without the SF 6 gas, arc in the waveguide was frequently occured.

4.1 Operation Region of the Gyrotron

The operation region of our gyrotron (Varian VGE-8060 Al SN10) is shown in Fig. 4-1 (a)~(f). The output power of up to 240 kW can be controlled by several parameters, namely,

The mode map is given in Fig. 4-l(f). As shown, in the high I,,. operation, no rf power comes out. The standard way of the initial gyrotron operation is as follows,

1. Raise the gyrotron heater current gradually till the standard value.

2. Set the gun anode pulse width which should be as small as possible in the first operation.

3. Set the beam valtage V , main magnet current I,,„, and gun magnet current I..„.

4. Set I,,, to high current (~ 11.0 A ) . Thus we get no rf power. 5. Then set the gun anode voltage V . around 18.1 - 18.5 kV.

(C.f. Fig. 4-l(f)) 6. Shoot a single pulse, and check I_, V_, V„ A, I, , etc. 7. Begin to pulse periodically in the internal mode operation - 2

8. If some power is obtained, check the frequency to ascertain that it is the correct TEoz mode oscillation.

9. Optimize the main magnet current Ij,,. 10. Optimize V„.. The maximum power is obtained by the iteration of

Thus 200 kW, 100 ms pulse is obtained. The important fast interception during the operations are as

follows.

1. Body current I, , over current which means that the electron ' body

beam touches the wall (cavity, body) somewhere. 2. Gyrotron arc which means the break down near the gyrotron window. 3. Ion pump current over current which means the excessive out gas. 4. Reflected power over power which means the incorrect gyrotron

oscillation or something happened in the rf transmission system (as break down in the waveguide). In the case of arc in the waveguide, one can hear the sound clearly.

The wave form of the forward power should be carefully wateched, to avoid the mode jump which appears in the rf signal. The frequency of the wave should be checked when a certain parameter is changed.

4.2 Monitor Wave Form during the Gyrotron Operation

Examples of time evolutions of the monitor signals are shown in Fig. 4-2(a). The collector current I (= beam current I ) starts by the application of V M A with the rise time of less than 100 \is.

Body current I , less than 5 mA and gun anode current I . flow during the pulse. The different pulse shapes are obtained between the forward rf power P . sampled by the TEoz mode directional couplper and general rf power P monitored at the sampler. P . consists of 6 v samp. samp. various forward modes or reflected modes, and therefore does not indicate the forward power of the TE02 mode.

The rise time of V_. (= V,„.) should be as fast as possible GA MA to avoid the spurious mode oscillation which is expressed in Fig. 4-l(f) as 48 ~ 52 GHz mode. The detailed wave form during the rise is given in Fig. 4-2(b). The rise time of V^ is 380 ys and that of V G A

is 420 ps. We think it is not fast enough as a burst is observed during the rise time occasionally. We couldn't obtain the independent fast rises of V_ and V_.. With a fast rise of V„., decrease in V_

a OA UA H occurs. The improvement of the rise time is now investigated.

4.3 Measurement of the Overall Transmission Loss hi the RF Transmission System (Cold Test)

The measurement of the overall transmission loss in the RF Transmission System are done. The sweeper (BWO ascillater) and microwave circuits which is the same as that in Fig. 3-6 is set in the middle of the straight waveguides (point A in Fig. 3-2), By setting the receiver and recorder at point C or B, the loss of TE01 mode was measured. The results are summarized in Table 4-1, The overall loss between B C is found as -2.2 ~ -2.5 dB (61 % ~ 57 % transmission) (f = 59 ~ 60 GHz). Subtracting the bends loss -1.7 dB as was shown in Fig. 3-7, and the loss by the straight wave guide -0.4 ~ -0.7 dB (9 % ~ 15 % of the total power) attributes (calculated joule loss 5 x 10" 3 x 25 m = 125 x 10" 3 = -0.13 dB) to the irregularities in connections at the bends and the straight wave guide or the imper­fections in the setting (such as the bending).

4.4 Measurement of the Forward RF Power

First the measurement of the forward rf power by the water load at the output of the TE02 mode directional coupler was done (Fig. 3-2 D). The comparison of the rf power obtained from the TE02 mode directional coupler (using the coupling value measured by a cold test) with the rf power measured by the water load showed a good agreement within a several per cent. As the water load measures the total power (TE02 mode + non-TEoz mode) and the directional coupler measures mainly TE02 mode, the above result shows that purity of the TE02 mode from the gyrotron is good.

The power measured by the water load at point D in Fig. 3-2 P . and output voltage of the forward arm of the T E 0 2 mode directional coupler Vout is shown in Fig. 4-3(a). Next, the water load is set before the vacuum window (point E of Fig. 3-2). The power measured at the water load at point E in Fig. 3-2 P^. „ and Vout is shown in Fig. 4-3(b). From these figures, we can obtain the circuit loss between point D and E of Fig. 3-2 as shown in Fig. 4-3(c). It shows ~60 % ±10 % transmission of the rf and that value coinsides with the .result of cold test in Sec. 4.3.

About 90 % of the power of the TE01 mode at the winodow is finally radiated in TEn mode from the horn antenna. Therefore ~54 % of the

the receiver and recorder at point C or B, the 10ss of TEol mode was measured. The resu1ts are summarized in Tab1e 4-1. The overa11 10ss

between B C is fαmd as -2.2ヘー2.5dB (61 % ~ 57 % transmission)

(f = 59 ~ 60 GHz). Subtracting the bends 10ss -1.7 dB as was shown

in Fig. 3-7, and the 10ss by the straight wave guide -0.4 ~ー0.7 dB

4 .4 Measu rem邑ntof the Forward RF Power

First the measurement of the forward rf power by the water 10ad

at the output of the TEo2 mode directiona1 coup1er was done (Fig・

3-2 D). The comparison of the rf power obtained from the TEo2 mode

directiona1 coup1er (using the coup1ing va1ue measured by a c01d test)

with the rf power measured by the water 10ad showed a good agreement

within a severa1 per cent. As the water 10ad measures the tota1

power (TEoz mode + non-TEoz mode) and the directiona1 coup1er

measures main1y TEo2 mode, the above resu1t shows that purity of the TEo2 mode from the gyrotron is good.

The reflected power increased when the water load is set near the machine (point E) to 5 kW in the 163 kW operation (3 % of the forward power). In case of the injection into the vacuum vessel the reflected power was smaller as 2.2 kW (1.6 % of the forward power of 140 kW). Thus the reflected power is negligibly small in this system.

Conclusion

A 60 GHz ECH system for the JFT-2M tokamak is designed, constructed and tested. It can launch not only extraordinary mode but also ordinary mode by rotating a mode converter by 90° in the vacuum chamber. We first thought that difficulties lie in the design of the mode converters two years ago (1983). Therefore we developed a design study of the mode converters as is described in Chap. 3.1.3. The efficiency of the mode converters completed coincided well with the computer calculation. But it was found that the bend loss is a severe problem which was unforeseen to us. The 32 % of the rf power is lost in the three bends. The improvement of the bends is now under way. An ECH experiment using this system was carried out in the last Nov. - Dec. . A ramp up of the plasma current by ECH of the LH sustained plasma, and local bulk heating of a tokamak plasma in which the core heating efficiency was the same as the foundamental wave ECH were obtained as reported in 5). We are going to get an another gyrotron and power up will be completed in this winter.

APPENDIX 1. RF CURRENT-DRIVE(LHH+ECH) AND ELECTRON CYCLOTRON HEATING EXPERIMENTS ON JFT-2M TOKAMAK (A paper presented at 12th European Conference on Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics, Budapest, Hungary, Sep. 2-6, 1985)

1. ABSTRACT

RF current-drive/ramp-up by the simulaneous injection of the lower hybrid were(LHW) and the electromagnetic wave of the frequency near the second harmonic electron cyclotron frequency(ECW) is investigated in the JFT-2M tokamak. A significant ramp-up of the toroidal current of 48 kA/sec is observed by the electron cyclotron heating(ECH) of the LH sustained tokamak plasma. Further, the local bulk electron heating by the second harmonic extraordinary mode (X-mode) ECH is observed.

2. INTRODUCTION

APPENDIX 1. RF CURRENT-DRIVE(LHH+ECH) AND ELECTRON CYCLOTRON HEATING

EXPERIMENTS ON JFT-2M TOKAMAK (A paper presented at 12th

European Conference on Controlled FUsion and Plasma

Physics, Budapest, Hungary. Sep. 2-6, 1985)

1. ABSTRACT

RF current-drive/ramp-up by the simulaneous injection of the

lower hybrid were(LHW) and the electromagn巳ticwave of the frequency

near the second harmonic electron cyclotron frequency(ECW) is

investigated in the JFT-2M tokamak. A significant ramp-up of the

toroidal current of 48 kA/sec is observed by the electron cyclotron

heating(ECH) of the LH sustained tokamak plasma. FUrther, the

local bu1k electron heating by the second harmonic extraordinary mode

(X-mode) ECH is observed.

2. INTRODlJCTION

The rf current drive using the ECW seems to have several

attractive features. First, it is possible to place the antenna far away from the plasma without the coupling problem. Second, the

penetration of the ECW in the high density plasma is possible by

choosing the frequency above the cutoff frequency. 百lIrd,as the

resonant c∞pling of the ECW to the electrons occurs in the parameter

space in由 ichthe electron cyclotron resonance(ECR) condition is

satisfied, the power deposition(or the current) can be controlled by

choosing the ECR condition appropriately. Fourth, the theoretical

current drive efficiency by the ECW is as large as 3/4 of that by

the LHW1). Fifth, the threshold power of the ECW parametric decay

instability is relatively large,対lIchmeans that high power density

can be transmitted to the plasma core region to maintain the current.

百ledifficulty hitherto encountered to obtain the ECH driven

current by the bulk heating of the plasrna lies in that the large single

path absorption sufficient for the ene"rgy absorption to occur in one 2)

side of the ECR layer-' is needed. And there is a possibility that

the drive efficiency may det巳riorateby the tranpped particle effect by

the bulKheating.

加 tby using the relativistically down shifted ECR of the high

energy electrons, these difficulties are avoided. The reflection at

the vessel wall may increase the power deposition at the shifted ECR layer even if the absorption in single path is not large. Moreover, it was revealed that the current drive efficiency J/Pd is improved by

1) 2) the wave coupling to the high energy electrons . The combined effects of LHH+ECH are studied on the JFT-2M tokamak

(R = 1.31 m, a = 0.35 m) experimentally. The frequency of the LHW is 750 MHz, and the spectrum of the parallel refractive index is

4) controlled by four wave-guides . The launcher spectrum concentrates dominantly around xij = 1 ~ 3 when the phase difference is -90°. The frequency of the ECW is 60 GHz. The second harmonic X-mode with n^ = -0.17 of the narrow beam divergence is launched in almost linear TEn mode from the low field side of the torus.

3. LHH+ECH CURRENT DRIVE

Time evolutions are depicted in Fig. 1(a). The toroidal electric field is applied by the primary OH circuit in the initial 100 ms for the production of the target plasma, and then the primary voltage is shut down and held zero (AVR operation). The application of the LHW of pulse length ~400 ms and power 70 kW starts before the shut down of the primary voltage. In this way, the quick ramp-up of the plasma current I by the LHW is obtained. Ramp-up only by the LHW without the initial OH field takes longer time with less stability to reach 10 kA level of the driven current.

A saturation of the LHW driven current around I p ~ 18 kA with the efficiency 0.26 A/W is observed. The ECH pulse is applied for 100 ms during the saturation phase. A significant ramp-up of the current occurs almost linearly in time as shown in the figure. During the ECH pulse, the loop voltage drops and the plasm? density changes. In this case, the 2nd harmonic ECR layer locates at r = 0.1 m outside and the plasma displacement is held inside of the center of the vacuum vessel with B = 1.15 T.

The time rate of the current rise (d/dt) I as a function of B is given in Fig. 1(b). I has two peaks. A peak around B,. = 1.0 T

p to corresponds to the location of the ECR layer around the plasma core which is shifted inside, and indicates the contribution of the bulk ECH to the current rise. The second peak in B. = 1.15 ~ 1.30 T seems

to to be due to the coupling of the ECW to the LH sustained tail

layer even if the absorption in single path is not large. Moreover, it was revealed that the current drive efficiency J/Pd is improved by

electrons. The drive mechanisms are different between the two cases, namely, the coupling to the bulk electrons causes an increase in the bulk electron temperature which enhances the damping of the LHW and then the plasma current. The drive efficiency, however, stays constant. On the other hand, the second case is due to the coupling of the ECW to the LH sustained tail. There are marked different results between the two cases. In the former case, the increased current does not decrease after the ECH pulse, which implies that a new saturation level is set for the LHW current drive by the effect of bulk ECH, for instance, by increase in the bulk electron temperature. On the other hand, in the latter case, the current decrease after the end of the ECH pulse, indicating that the increased current is attributed to the ECW. The time behaviour of the density is also different between the two cases as shown in the figure. The density drop of IS = 1.0 T case is larger than that of B t > 1.1 T case in

to to which a gradual increase in density occurs after the small density drop at the beginning of the ECW pulse. The ECW coupling to the trapped electrons at the ECR layer in the low field side may affect the paraticle transport.

The resonant energy of an electron is obtained as shown in Fig. 5-1(c) by the relativistic ECR condition

1-so) / u - n ^ v / / c = 0 (s = l , 2 , 3 , . . . ) .

A divergence of the microwave beam from the horn antenna gives a spread of -0.26 < n / < -0.09. Owing to the 2nd harmonic resonance (s = 2 ) , ECW couples to the tail electrons at the center of the vessel which have the energy of 12 ~ 17 keV in B = 1.15 T (r0 = .10 m) case, 20 ~ 45 keV in B„ = 1.20 T (ro = . 16 m) case and 45 ~ 85 keV in B„ =

tu to 1.30 T (ro = .28 in) case. The resonant energy of the plasma core shifted inside is even higher. The energy spectrum analysis of the soft X-ray radiation shows that an increase of the photon counts of energy up to 80 keV occurs and the increment is a few times as large as the radiation from the LH sustained plasma. The contribution from the s * 3 resonance seems to be samll which is derived from the negligible I_ in B < 0.8 T cases. The soft X-ray measurement shows also that the emission region is highly localized inside of the center of the chamber during the ECH pulse, implying that the current channel is localized inside.

layer exists in the plasma column, the coupling to the tail electrons is detected by the ECE measurement in spite of no increase in the current. The increase in I_ decreases as the plasma density increases because of the decrease of the LH tail.

These observations show the coupling of the ECW to the high energy tail electrons satisfying the resonance condition, and resulting localized current channel. It brings the possibility of the formation of the hot electron channel in the high temperature tokamak plasmas which is proposed to stabilize the high beta tokamak plasmas .

A. BULK ELECTRON HEATING BY THE SECOND HARMONIC X-MODE ECH

Bulk ECH by a 28 GHz fundatnetal (s = 1) wave was investigated on the JFT-2 tokamak by launching three different modes . In the JFT-2M, the bulk ECH by the 60 GHz 2nd harmonic (s = 2) X-mode is studied. The calculated absorption in single path is given in Fig. 2(a). The absorption rate increases with plasma density n and electron temperature T of the ECR layer. More than 80 % of the wave power is absorbed in the parameter region of T > 500 eV and n > 1.0 x 10 1 9 m" 3. Therefore the local core heating by ECH is expected in the JFT-2M.

The experimental result of the density dependence of the increase of the center electron temperature AT and the value A A = A(3 +1./2), where 3 denotes poloidal beta value and 1. denotes the internal

P i inductance, are plotted in Fig. 2(b). Calculated cutoff density of X-mode and 0-mode is expressed by arrows in the abscissa. It is shown that the v?ave cutoff occurs above the right hand cutoff density. The AT which is linear in rf power in r = 0 m case, depends much on r as shown in Fig. 2(c). In the off-center heating in which r = -0.13 m, +0.18 m, no increase in T is observed. However, a drop

eo in the loop voltage and Increase of the laser electron temperature around the ECR layer are obtained. Namely, the temperature profile becomes broad. The change in 1. affects A A and the effect is not negligible, because the increase in 3 is small due to the decrease of the joule power during the ECH pulse the power of which is less than the jould power. The density drop by ECH was large in the off-center heating and was proportional to the plasma density as were observed in the 28 GHz on the JFT-2. A comparison with the fundamental ECH shows
