Abstract
Reflectometry is considered to be one of the key diagnostics to measure density profiles and density fluctuations of fusion oriented plasmas. When an electromagnetic wave is launched into a plasma, the wave is reflected at the corresponding cutoff layer of the ordinary (O) mode or the extraordinary (X) mode. Reflectometry measures the time of flight (TOF) or group delay of the reflected wave. We have applied ultrashort-pulse reflectometry (USPR) to Large Helical Device (LHD) at National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS). The highspatial analysis method called signal record analysis (SRA) is utilized to reconstruct the density profiles from the TOF signal. Also, it is noted that the remote control system using super science information network (super-SINET) has been introduced to the present USPR system. This remote system is exclusive, and it seems to be quite effective for collaborating experiment of large devices such as ITER.
