摘要:

一种新型正交多普勒背散射(DBS)系统已被开发并针对E波段(60-90GHz)频率范围进行优化,可在DIII-D等离子体中使用O模或X模极化。一般而言,DBS测量密度涨落的幅度及其在实验室坐标系中的速度。该系统能够同时监测低频湍流(f < 10MHz)和可选频率范围(20-500 MHz)内的射频等离子体密度涨落。利用可调下变频系统,已演示了对离子回旋频率低次谐波(例如2fci~23MHz)以及外部驱动的高频螺旋波(f = 476MHz)的高频涨落探测。重要的是,这将DBS的应用扩展到高频谱域,同时保持了重要的湍流和流动测量能力。这一独特系统具有低相位噪声、良好的时间分辨率(亚毫秒级)和出色的波数覆盖范围(k_θ ~ 1-20cm^{-1},k_r ~ 20-30cm^{-1})。作为演示,给出了DIII-D等离子体内部局域测量结果,包括湍流(f <= 5MHz)、阿尔芬波(f~6.5MHz)、离子回旋波(f >= 20MHz)以及由外部高功率476 MHz螺旋波天线驱动的约476MHz附近的涨落。未来,螺旋波测量将用于验证GENRAY和AORSA建模工具,以预测新安装在DIII-D上的螺旋波电流驱动系统的螺旋波传播、吸收和电流驱动位置。

英文摘要:

A novel quadrature Doppler Backscattering (DBS) system has been developed and optimized for the E-band (60-90GHz) frequency range using either O-mode or X-mode polarization in DIII-D plasmas. In general, DBS measures the amplitude of density fluctuations and their velocity in the lab frame. The system can simultaneously monitor both low-frequency turbulence (f < 10MHz) and radiofrequency plasma density fluctuations over a selectable frequency range (20-500 MHz). Detection of high-frequency fluctuations has been demonstrated for low harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency (e.g., 2fci~23MHz) and externally driven high-frequency helicon waves (f = 476MHz) using an adjustable frequency down conversion system. Importantly, this extends the application of DBS to a high-frequency spectral domain while maintaining important turbulence and flow measurement capabilities. This unique system has low phase noise, good temporal resolution (sub-millisecond) and excellent wavenumber coverage (k_θ ~ 1-20cm^{-1} and k_r ~ 20-30cm^{-1}). As a demonstration, localized internal DIII-D plasma measurements are presented from turbulence (f <= 5MHz), Alfvenic waves (f~6.5MHz), ion cyclotron waves (f >= 20MHz) as well as fluctuations around 476MHz driven by an external high-power 476 MHz helicon wave antenna. In the future, helicon measurements will be used to validate GENRAY and AORSA modeling tools for prediction of helicon wave propagation, absorption and current drive location for the newly installed helicon current drive system on DIII-D.
