Impurity Flow Measurements in DIII-D using Coherence Imaging Spectroscopy
POSTER
Abstract
Imaging interferometers have been used to measure the \hbox{2-D} distribution of the Doppler shift of impurity emission in both the lower and upper DIII-D divertors. The interferometer design has been simplified to a single birefringent plate between two polarizers, and improved calibration techniques have been implemented, including temperature stabilization. Measurements of other impurity species such as CII have been added. An image-intensified camera in the upper divertor has enabled measurement of the flows in the crown of the plasma during lower single-null divertor operation. In general, flows are in opposite directions on the inner and outer scrape-off layers in the divertor, as expected from the magnetic geometry. Initial results from a wide view periscope of the whole plasma cross section will also be presented.
