2 Motivation Magnetically confined fusion devices require detailed time-resolved measurement of J(r) and B(r): J B = P Measurements of δβ and δj associated with instabilities (MHD, fast-particle modes, turbulence, disruptions) are critical to understanding transport Goal for C-Mod: pursue polarimeter development for both magnetic equilibrium and fluctuation measurements ITER q(r) diagnostic - C-Mod has ITER-like (B, n e ), polarimetry geometry (doublepass) and wavelength (118 µm) 2

3 Outline (1) Measurement principle - Faraday effect ( ) - Cotton-Mouton effect ( ) (2) Key factors for Faraday rotation measurements on high field tokamak - Polarization distortion by optical components - Phase noise (vibrations, stray db/dt, feedback, electronic) - Misalignment to toroidal field (3) Faraday effect measurements - Equilibrium - Fluctuations (4) Future Plans B k B k B k 3

4 Faraday Rotation Polarization rotation due to parallel magnetic field ( B k ) Linearly Polarized EM wave E k E ψ F n e Plasma B z ψ F = λ 2 n e B z dz amplitude measurement Faraday phase shifts are in the 0-30 degree range in C-Mod (118 µm) 4

5 Faraday Rotation Polarization rotation due to parallel magnetic field ( B k ) Linearly Polarized EM wave E L-wave k ψ F E Plasma n e B z R-wave Linearly polarized light can be thought of as the sum of R- and L- waves 5

6 Faraday Rotation (Effect) R- and L- waves are offset in frequency ψ F E Linearly Polarized EM wave E L-wave k Plasma n e B z R-wave ψ F = λ 2 n e B z dz ω c ( n R n L ) 2 dz phase measurement 6

7 Cotton-Mouton Effect Polarization elliptized due to perpendicular magnetic field E Linearly Polarized EM wave E k Plasma n e B ψ CM = λ 3 n e B 2 dz ω c (n X n O )dz 1) C-M phase shifts up to 20 o possible in C-Mod (118 µm) 2) For tokamaks, B has components parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the electromagnetic probe wave 7

8 Faraday Effect Detection Technique λ/2 Plate Reference Mixer Double pass layout, λ~ 118 µm: similar to ITER polarimeter ω 2 ω 1 ω 2 Plasma Retro-reflector mounted in inner wall ω 1 FIR LASERS - (2.54 THz) Frequency offset ~ 4 MHz λ/4 Plate Signal Mixer B p B T Phase Measurement: effect of perpendicular B T on R- and L- waves is identical and cancels, no error due to Cotton-Mouton effect Dodel and Kunz, Infrared Physics 18, (1978). 8

9 FIR Optical Layout Two CW far infrared lasers (Coherent Inc.: λ= µm, ~150 mw/cavity). Frequency offset 4 MHz (<1 µs time response) ~14 m pathlength Not shown: Air-tight enclosures for humidity control 1.2 cm thick magnetic shield for laser stability C-Mod: B T = 3-8T Ip =.4-2.1MA n e = x10 20 m -3 R = 0.68 m a = 0.22 m 9

10 Upper Table Layout chord 1 2 Main components on upper table: 3 - ¼ wave plate ¼λ - TPX lens -> focus beam on corner cube reflector - low-noise planar diode mixers lens - impact parameter: x1=10, x2=16, and x3= 20 cm corner cube retroreflectors 1 2 mirror detector 1 focusing mirror Magnetic axis 10

11 Mesh Beam Splitters May Alter Beam Polarization For an incident angle of 45 0, linearly polarized light may become elliptically polarized AFTER reflection / transmission through beam splitter Effect depends on: 1) Orientation of wire grid with respect to incident beam polarization (drawn) 2) wire grid density (not drawn) -> Both errors minimized in optical layout beam splitter mesh rotated in lower case linearly polarized elliptically polarized 11

12 Polarimeter Calibration Layout Collinear R- and L- polarized beams ω 1 ω 2 Retro-reflector Rotating λ/2 plate causes phase change Rotating λ/2 plate Measured phase difference is linear if polarization of R- and L- waves are not modified by optics (mesh) Signal Mixer 12

13 Measured Phase Response Measured phase (deg) Measured phase (deg) Calibration curves can correct for systematic errors Quartz angle (deg) Linear response: beam is comprised of R- and L- circularly polarized waves Quartz angle (deg) Non-linear response: phase change from optical components 13

14 Measurement Phase Noise deg deg deg Channel 1 Channel 2 Noise floor Channel 3 Acoustically vibrations in lasers: rms (500 khz bandwidth) Magnetic field ramp time (s) vibrations and stray B (db/dt): 1-2 o Error at plasma flattop: Hz - Laser relocation addresses both noise sources - Optical feedback to lasers below noise level 14

15 Toroidal Field Effects: (1) Alignment and (2) Cotton-Mouton effect 1) Misalignment to toroidal field, B T ψ F n e B z dz = n e B P cosα dl + n e B T sinαdl 2) Cotton-Mouton effect ψ CM n e B T 2 dl B P α z C-Mod toroidal magnetic field 4 8T B T Dedicated tests required to determine effect on measured phase shift 15

24 Plans (Three Year Timescale) Locate lasers remotely from tokamak cell [temperature controlled] Lower stray B and acoustic noise (vibration) Use dielectric waveguide to transport beams Increase number of chords from 3 to 10 (depending on access) Horizontal view with one chord below midplane Expand port for radial axis (more chords, δb r ) Add Density measurement capability Exploit Cotton-Mouton effect Add 3rd laser (order on HOLD) magnetic and density fluctuations simultaneously resolved Leverage technique (fluctuation and equilibrium) from C-Mod to address long-pulse AT operations in EAST (preparation for ITER) 24

25 Summary Three chords operational in 12 campaign -> Measurements and EFIT reconstructions consistent Faraday measurement checked against Cotton-Mouton and B t effects -> No contamination found Fluctuations related to MHD, fast-particles instabilities and turbulence observed Future plans to improve laser stability, increase chords Results increase confidence in Faraday effect measurement for ITER 25
