Abstract

Cross-polarization scattering (CPS) diagnostics using ultrashort pulse microwaves is applied to the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror for the measurement of internal magnetic fluctuations. The CPS process uses the mode conversion effect of electromagnetic waves by means of magnetic fluctuations in a plasma. The mode contamination of antennas and multiple reflections from the vacuum vessel make the CPS measurement difficult since they easily mask the CPS signal. By using polarizers and performing time-of-flight measurement on the ultrashort pulse, the spurious electromagnetic waves are eliminated and the identification of the CPS process is successful.
