Abstract
The design of a vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy system has been performed to monitor and provide feedback for impurity control in SPARC. The spectrometer, covering a wavelength range of 10-2000Å through a flat-field configuration with diffraction gratings, incorporates five survey lines of sight. This allows for comprehensive impurity analysis across the core and four divertor regions (inner/outer and upper/lower). Its compact modular design facilitates vertical stacking of each spectrometer unit, significantly reducing space in the tokamak hall, where a dedicated radiation shielding bunker will be built. Safety features include a secondary helium enclosure to mitigate tritium permeation risks during deuterium-tritium (D-T) operations and shielding within the beamlines for enhanced radiation protection. The silicon carbide mirror design for divertor observation ensures its survivability in the in-vessel environment of SPARC, validated by thermal and electromagnetic analysis. Signal modeling and data acquisition testing results show that an exposure time of a few milliseconds is appropriate considering photon flux reaching the detector, demonstrating the system's capability for discharge control that includes disruption avoidance.
