Design of a CO2-laser Thomson scattering ion-tail diagnostic for Alcator C-Mod

Description

A CO2-laser Thomson scattering diagnostic has been designed for the measurement of the ICRH-produced ion tail on Alcator C-Mod. The plasma parameters and port access require that the detection of scattered radiation be made at small angles, typically one degree or less. The receiver system consists of five heterodyne detectors and the source laser produces an energy of 10 Joules per pulse with a 1 to 5 microsecond pulse length. The scattering system is currently being installed on the Alcator C-Mod experiment. Details of the diagnostic, calculations of the expected measurements, and application of the diagnostic for ITER are presented
