1. Introduction Electron temperature(Te} and density(ne} are the essential parameters to inves-

tigate the physics of tokamak plasma. There are several ways to measure Te and/or

ne in plasma. The representative diagnostic systems on Te are the electron cyclotron

emission (ECE}[1], X-ray pulse height spectrometer{SX}[2] and Thomson scattering[3・

]. The systems on ne are the microwave inte付erometry[4]and Thomson scattering.

Each system has some advantages. ECE and SX are passive methods for Te mea-

surement, and are simple systems. But ECE system gives the arbitrary temperature

from the intensity, and SX system gives the monitor Te because of the impurity lines

on the energy spectrum. On the other hand, the microwave interferometry gives the

line-integrated electron density, and several chords through plasma is necessary to

get the ne profile with the abel-inversion at least. The ne and Te profiles measured

with these methods have not enough spatial resolution, especially at edge. It is difficult

to determine the slope of Te, ne and pressure(Pe) at edge with a high resolution of

below 1cm. However, Thomson scattering system measures the local Te and ne with

the e-folding width of doppler-broadened profile of scattered spectrum and total scat-

tered intensity, respectively[5]. Thomson scattering has some advantages as follows;

Laser beam does not disturb the plasma, and the measured point is definite. But,

Thomson scattering cross-section is so small (6.6x10・25cm2)that laser power, sensi-

tivity of detector and transmittance of optics should be made as high as possible.

Initial TV Thomson scattering system(TVTS) was developed to measure Te and ne

profiles of plasma diameter in Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory

(PPPL}[6・8].This system has the following characteristics;a wide-angle lens was

used for coJlecting the scattered light, and the micro-channel plate intensifier( 40mm in

diameter was available at maximum) with a gating pulse system and the intensified si卜

-502-

icon diode target vidicon tube were used as a detector. This detector had to be im­

proved for a low sensitivity and a serious limitation of input diameter of MCP.

ICCD(lntensified CCD) tube has been developed soon. ICCD has an anode consisted

of CCD and an electron emitted from cathode surface hits on CCD to produce -106

electrons. However, it is impossible to buy ICCD anymore. Then, the new detector for

TVTS was designed and fabricated in collaboration with PPPL[9]. This detector con­

sists of two stages of image intensifier tubes with a large input surface(80mm in diam­

eter) coupled to a CCD fiber-optically. By the way.TVTS on JFT-2M tokamak is com­

posed of six subsystems; optical, electro-optical, control and data acquisition,

laser[10], software and vacuum components 1] subsystems[12].

Not only ruby laser power is high (1.5x1010W/cm2) in plasma, but also quartz

image fibers and Littrow type spectrometer are applied to produce the high optical

transmittance. The characteristics of this system is as follows; total measuring length

of 70cm, spatial points of 81, spatial resolution of 0.86cm, measured temperature

range of 50eV<Te<7~8keV and measured density range of ~3x1012<ne<5x1014cm"3.

The Te and ne profiles give the physical informations on JFT-2M plasma; The in­

crease of central temperature and density and the pedestal of Te at edge were ob­

served in H-mode. In this paper we describe TVTS, especially about new detector,

and the Te and ne measured in JFT-2M plasma.

2. Overview of TVTS

It is described in ref.[12,13] in detail, then is written here in brief. Figure.1 shows

the overview of TVTS. A ruby laser beam with 20J (or usually 15J) in 20ns and 0.25

milliradian beam divergence is focussed to below 3mm diameter over the 70cm mea­

surement region in the horizontal mid-plane of the plasma. The beam is terminated in

a beam dump designated to minimize stray laser light. A 6m long beam tube in vacu­

um places the window at a point where the beam size(25mm in diameter) is large

enough to keep laser damage to the window(threshold power of

breakdown:~6x109W/cm2) at a tolerable level. The light scattered from the beam is

collected from an f:6 cone and imaged at f:1.75, using a Bouwers concentric catadiop-

tric mirror system on the top flange, onto an array of 81 fiber optic bundles each of

which measures 0.9x2.25mm. These bundles are then rearranged from the

0.9x191 mm input to 2.25x72.9mm at the input to the spectrometer. A relay lens ex­

pands this image onto the input slit of the spectrometer. A simple Littrow spectrometer

is used to minimize the scattering of stray laser light and the formation of secondary

proved for a low sensitivity and a serious Iimitation of input diameter of MCP.

ICCD(lntensified CCD) tube has been developed soon. ICCD has an anode consisted

of CCD and an electron emitted from cathode surface hits on CCD to produce ....106

electrons. However, it is impossible to buy ICCD anymore. Then, the new detector for

posed of six subsystems; optical, electro-optical, control and data acquisition,

laser[10], software and vacuum component[11] subsystems[12].

Not only ruby laser power is high (1.5x1010W/cm2) in plasma, but also qua吋Z

image fibers and Littrow type spectrometer are applied to produce the high optical

transmittance. The characteristics of this system is as follows; total measuring length

of70cm,sp剖ialpoints of 81, spatial resolution of O.86cm, measured temperature

range of 50eV<Te<7....8keV and measured density range of ....3x1012<ne<5x1014cm-3.

The Te and ne profiles give the physical informations on JFT・2Mplasma; The in-

crease of central temperature and density and the pedestal of Te at edge were ob-

served in H-mode. In this paper we describe TVTS, especially about new detector,

and the Te and ne measured in JFT・2Mplasma.

2. Overview 01 TVTS

It is described in ref.[12,13] in detail, then is written here in brief. Figure.1 shows

the overview of TVTS. A ruby laser beam with 20J (or usually 15J) in 20ns and 0.25

milliradian beam divergence is focussed to below 3mm diameter over the 70cm mea-

surement region in the horizontal mid-plane of the plasma. The beam is terminated in

a beam dump designated to minimize stray laser light. A 6m long beam tube in vacu-

um places the window at a point where the beam size(25mm in diameter) is large

enough to keep laser damage to the window(threshold power of

breakdown:向 6x109W/cm2 ) at a tolerable level. The light scattered from the beam is

collected from an f:6 cone and imaged at f:1.75, using a Bouwers concentric catadiop-

tric mirror system on the top flange, onto an array of 81 fiber optic bundles each of

which measures 0.9x2.25mm. These bundles are then rearranged from the

O.9x191 mm input to 2.25x72.9mm at the input to the spectrometer. A relay lens ex-

pands this image onto the input slit of the spectrometer. A simple Littrow spectrometer

is used to minimize the scattering of stray laser light and the formation of secondary

- 503-

images by reflections. A field lens at the image plane focuses the light onto a camera

lens which images the spatially resolved spectra onto the face of an 80mm diameter

gateable image intensifier tube. This tube demagnifies the image from 80mm to

18mm. A second image intensifier tube provides further gain and further demagnifies

the image from 18 to 11 mm. Output image of second image intensifier is fiber-optically

coupled to a cooled CCD. The data from the CCD are digitized and temporarily stored

in the personal computer used to control the camera. The data are then sent to a Vax

station 3500 for calculation of Te and ne.

3. Image intensifier coupled to CCD detector system

The detector consists of two stages of image intensifier tubes coupled to a CCD

as shown in Fig.2. Both of the intensifier tubes have fast phosphors. The first tube,

made by DEP in Holland (type:PP0050), has an 80mm diameter fiber optic faceplate

with a red enhanced S25 photocathode, and a P47 blue phosphor with a decay time

of about 80ns with a fiber optic output. It demagnifies from 80 to 18mm and has appre­

ciable pincushion distortion. On the other hand, the second tube(type:XX1600) has a

fiber optic input with 18mm diameter, a blue sensitive S20 photocathode and a P46

green phosphor with about 160ns decay time. It demagnifies from 18 to 11 mm and

adds some additional pincushion distortion.

The CCD is made by EEV and is their type CCD02-06-1-014 as shown in Table I.

It is a 385 by 288 pixel, frame transfer type which makes it possible to transfer a frame

in about 2ms. It is also possible to compress frames into the storage register. This is

coupled to the output of the second image intensifier through a long(50mm) fiber optic

coupler. The CCD is housed in a polyethylene foam filled cannister which can be

cooled by a flow of cold nitrogen gas to below -30°C. This results in negligible dark

current during the readout time of about 1s.

The CCD is controlled by a Princeton Scientific Instruments Inc. camera controller.

This controller provides all the clocking signals for CCD, and digitizes and stores the

output. Using the IBM type personal computer which is an integral part of this con­

troller, it is also possible to do some preliminary analysis of the data which is very use­

ful for alignment problem with the system.

3.1 Extinction ratio

Plasma background lights, such as a bremsstrahlung emission and a spectral

line emission , are always incident on the input surface of image intensifier tube. In the

case of (scattered signal)/(background signal)=10~20 estimated from experiments,

images by reflections. A field 19n5 at the image plane focuses the light onto a camera

lens which images the spatially resolved spectra onto the face of an 80mm diameter

gateable image intensifier tube. This tube demagnifies the image from 80mm to

18mm. A second image intensifier tube provides further gain and further demagn而es

the image from 18 to 11 mm. Output image of second image intensifier is fiber-optically

coupled to a cooled CCD. The data from the CCD are digitized and temporarily stored

in the personal computer ¥Jsed to control the camera. The data are then sent to a Vax

station 3500 for calculation of Te and ne.

3. Image intensifier coupled to CCD detector system

The detector consists of two stages of image intensifier tubes coupled to a CCO

as shown in Fig.2. 80th of the intensifier tubes have fast phosphors. The first tube,

made by DEP in Holland (type:PP0050), has an 80mm diameter fiber optic faceplate

with a red enhanced 825 photocathode, and a P47 blue phosphor with a decay time

of about 80ns with a fiber optic output. It demagnifies from 80 to 18mm and has appre-

ciable pincushion distortion. On the other hand, the second tube(type:XX1600) has a

fiber optic input with 18mm diameter, a blue sensitive 820 photocathode and a P46

green phosphor with about 160ns decay time. It demagnifies from 18 to 11 mm and

adds some additional pincushion distortion.

The CCD is made by EEV and is their type CC002・06-1・014as shown in Table 1.

It is a 385 by 288 pixel, frame transfer type which makes it possible to transfer a frame

in about 2ms. It is also possible to compress frames into the storage register. This is

coupled to the output of the second image intensifier through a long(50mm} fiber optic

coupler. The CCO is housed in a polyethylene foam filled cannister which can be

cooled by a flow of cold nitrogen gas to below ・300C.This results in negligible dark

current during the readout time of about 1 s.

The CCO is controlled by a Princeton Scientific Instruments Inc. camera controller.

This controller provides all the clocking signals for CCO, and digitizes and stores the

output. Using the IBM type personal computer which is an integral pa円ofthis con-

troller, it is also possible to do some preliminary analysis of the data which is very use-

ful for alignment problem with the system.

3.1 Extinction ratio

Plasma background lights, such as a bremsstrahlung emission and a spectral

line emission , are always incident on the input surface of image intensifier tube. In the

case of (scattered signal)/(background signal)=1 0-20 estimated from experiments,

-504-

duration of plasma discharged s and gated duration=100ns, a high extinction ratio is

necessary to get the signal-to-noise ratio S/N >10. That is, the S/N is represented as

(scattered signalxextinction ratio)/{(scattered signal/10)x(duration of discharge/gated

duration)}. The extinction ratio should be (5~10)x107.

The PP0050 tube has four electrodes. They are the cathode, the focus electrode,

the zoom electrode and the anode shown in Fig.3. The tube is normally gated by bias­

ing the focus electrode sufficiently negative. This is expected not to provide an ade­

quate extinction ratio. We expected that it would be necessary to gate the zoom elec­

trode. The tube was operated at -1 OkV cathode voltage and grounded anode. The

zoom pulse is generated by changing a cable (delay line) to ~20kV. It is discharged by

a spark gap which drives a 50 ohm terminating divider. Measurement of the voltages

for different magnifications are shown in Fig.4. The extinction measurements were

carried out at the nominal voltages for the 0.192 magnification. Biasing the focus elec­

trode from 250 to 700 V negative with respect to the cathode gave about the same ex­

tinction of -3x103. It was found that the zoom electrode had to be biased to 480V neg­

ative with respect to cathode to give good extinction. The extinction at 480V was

8.5x106. If the signal remained even when the high voltage supply was turned com­

pletely off is subtracted from the total signal at extinction, one obtains an extinction

factor of 1.4x107. At its' full operating voltage of 20kV the tube would have higher gain

and the extinction factor including the direct shine through should exceed 107. The ef­

fect of voltage on the tube gain was measured and found to be linear and follow the

law g=k(v-4300) above 5000V(k=const, v is the voltage). A gate pulse is flat to about

4% during the laser pulse shown in Fig.5.

3.2 Distortion and modulation transfer function (MTF)

Spatial resolution depends on the design of collecting optics, Littrow spectrome­

ter and CCD camera. We show the good image on the output of spectrometer in Fig.6.

The 81 points clearly seen and it goes to CCD through camera lens and the intensifier

tube. However the distortion of tube was measured and is shown in Fig.7. The optical

design of the camera lens corrects for this distortion and that of the second stage in­

tensifier. The distortion for this tube is about 6.8% at 40mm input radius.

The resolution of PP0050 is 86lp/mm on axis and XX1600 is 75lp/mm, which are

sufficient for 81 points. By the way, MTF of XX1600 is 95% at 2.5lp/mm on axis based

on DPE data sheet.

-505-

duration of plasma discharge=1 5 and gated duration=1 OOns, a high extinction ratio is

necessary to get the signal-to-noise ratio S/N >10. That is, the S/N is represented as

(scattered signalxextinction ratio)/{(sca抗eredsignal/1 O)x(duration of discharge/gated

duration)}. The extinction ratio should be (5旬 10)x1 07.

The PP0050 tube has four electrodes. They are the cathode, the focus electrode,

the 200m electrode and the anode shown in Fig.3. The tube is normally gated by bias-

ing the focus electrode sufficiently negative. This is expected not to provide an ade-

quate extinction ratio. We expected that it would be necessary to gate the 200m elec-

trode. The tube was operated at ・1OkV cathode voltage and grounded anode. The

200m pulse is generated by changing a cable (delay line) to -20kV. It is discharged by

a spark gap which drives a 50 ohm terminating divider. Measurement of the voltages

for different magnifications are shown in Fig.4. The extinction measurements were

carried out at the nominal voltages for the 0.192 magnification. Biasing the focus elec-

trode from 250 to 700 V negative with respect to the cathode gave about the same ex-

tinction of -3x1 03. It was found that the zoom electrode had to be biased to 480V neg-

ative with respect to cathode to give good extinction. The extinction at 480V was

8.5x1 06. If the signal remained even when the high voltage supply was turned com-

pletely off is subtracted from the total signal at extinction, one obtains an extinction

factor of 1.4x1 07. At its' full operating voltage of 20kV the tube would have higher gain

and the extinction factor including the direct shine through should exceed 107. The ef-

fect of voltage on the tube gain was measured and found to be linear and follow the

law g=k(v・4300)above 5000V(k=const, v is the voltage). A gate pulse is flat to about

4% during the laser pulse shown in Fig.5.

3.2 Distortion and modulation transfer function (MTF)

Spatial resolution depends on the design of collecting optics, Littrow spectrome-

ter and CCD camera. We show the good image on the output of spectrometer in Fig.6.

The 81 points clearly seen and it goes to CCD through camera lens and the intensifier

tube. However the distortion of tube was measured and is shown in Fig.7. The optical

design of the camera lens corrects for this distortion and that of the second stage in-

tensifier. The distortion for this tube is about 6.8% at 40mm input radius.

TVTS was installed on JFT-2M tokamak and tested for the detector on the con­

dition of -30°C. The temperature fluctuation is below 1°C. As CCD and fiberoptic cou­

pler contract with cold, every test was done under the condition of -30°C. The stan­

dard lamp was set inside of vacuum vessel to calibrate TVTS totally. The software

was modified based on the PPPL's, and also the Oak Ridge national laboratory's was

combined in JAERI. Te and ne profiles are obtained at a real time. The representative

profiles measured with TVTS in H-mode plasma are shown in Fig.8. Te profile shows

the pedestal at edge and ne profile shows the sharp gradient at edge and also flat pro­

file. In addition, Pe profile shows the sharper slope at edge compared to L-mode.

ricated in JAERI, and tested. The advanced technique which PPPL has was applied

for JFT-2M TVTS.

fiJe. Jn addition, Pe profiJe shows the sharper sJope at edge compared to L -mode.

5. Summary

TVTS is completed in the collaboration with PPPL. Almost components was fab-

ricated in JAERI, and tested. The advanced technique which PPPL has was applied

for JFT・2MTVTS.

1.lnternational collaboration of TVTS pr吋ectwas terminated successfully.

2.New detector system was fabricated and its characteristics are as follows;

extinction ratio > 1.4x1 07, MTF"'95% at 2.5lp/mm on axis,

gate duration ...1 OOns, uniformity of gate pulse <4%.

3.Characteristics of TVTS are;

compact and high transmittance system, spatial resolution of 0.86cm, spatial

point of 81, measured length of 70cm.

4.Te and ne are measured on JFT-2M, and the representative results are;

Te: pedestal formation on H-mode plasma. ne:sharp gradient at edge on H-mode

plasma and fJat profile. Pe:sharp slope at edge on H-mode.

Acknowledgement

The highest spatial resoJution TVTS was developed in a collaboration with PPPL

for two years. And it has been measuring Te and ne profiles on JFT・2M.Through

these research, I would like to express my gratitude to Dr.K.Young in PPPL, Dr.Maeda

in JAERI for their continuous suppo凡
