Abstract
A five-chord interferometer based on terahertz solid state sources has been successfully installed on the Keda Torus eXperiment (KTX), a reversed field pinch machine. The optical design has been carefully optimized for the uniform distribution of beam light to fully use the limited power source (∼2 mW). By setting the telescopic mirror unit, the beam waist is located in the center of the vacuum vessel and its diameter is in the range of the Rayleigh length. The beam width across the plasma area is improved to ∼20mm to minimize crosstalk and beam energy loss. After careful beam alignment, the phase noise for each channel can reach 0.004π. The radial profiles of electron density on the KTX are inverted, and density fluctuation associated with instabilities is shown based on the forward-scattering signals.
