| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The diagnostics of plasma facing materials (PFMs) is a primary issue for maintenance of the high performance plasma in fusion devices. In this study, optical reflectivity measurement is proposed as a convenient diagnostics method of surface modifications in PFMs and its applicability to a plasma confinement device is evaluated. The dependence of the reflectivity on the amount of the ion-induced damages and the depositions thickness on the near-surface region of the samples was examined from the laboratory experiments. Since the detectable change of the reflectivity was also observed for the samples exposed to the plasmas in LHD, the optical property measurement was considered to be a possible method for convenient in-situ diagnostics for PFMs. The use of the transparent conductive film and the impedance measurement in a high-frequency band were suggested as a more accurate diagnostics method.
