Research Abstract |
The change in the polarization state approximates the superposition of the two fundamental processes, the Faraday effect and the Cotton-Mouton effect. In plasma with a high electron temperature of burning plasma, the Faraday effect is degraded, whereas the Cotton-Mouton effect is enhanced. This study demonstrated that the simultaneous reconstruction of the current density, the electron density and the electron temperature from the measurement data for the Faraday and Cotton-Mouton effects by using long wavelengths to obtain a large Cotton-Mouton effect. Existing fusion experimental devices use many diagnostics. However, a future reactor needs to be operated with fewer diagnostics. This study suggests that multi-parameter measurement using laser polarimetry shows promise for future reactors.
