[en] Far Forward Scattering of CO₂ laser radiation from density fluctuations in the poloidal plane (perpendicular to the main magnetic field) of the WV II - A stellarator plasma results in asymmetric distributions of the beat signals in the detector plane of a Fourier lens. It has been attempted to explain the asymmetric profiles with a model which describes scattering from low-M-number quasi-coherent modes, i.e. poloidally propagating periodic density structures of finite radial extent, centered in an annulus possibly near the plasma edge. This is equivalent to the picture of the probing beam being scattered from two waves with identical frequency Ω and center-wavelength Λ_c propagating at two different positions across the beam in nearly opposite directions; the waves have finite lateral extent transverse to their propagation and the wave fronts are not parallel to one another, but rather they are inclined with respect to another. This again means that for one selected fluctuation frequency Ω and one particular mode number M there is a spread in wave numbers K around K_c. When the beam passes at a finite distance d from the magnetic axis, superimpositioning of the scattered fields results in asymmetric profiles despite a Klein-Cook parameter γ<<1. (orig./AH)
