Upgrades to the C-Mod FIR Polarimeter

The 3-Chord FIR Polarimeter presently deployed on C-Mod is capable of responding to both fast changes in the plasma equilibrium and high frequency fluctuations. Two FIR lasers locked together with a slight frequency offset provide a signal IF at 4 MHz, which allows for the fast response of the system. Recently implemented upgrades including relocation of the laser table from the C-Mod experimental cell to a more shielded location, the design and installation of a humidity controlled beam-line to convey the FIR beams across the cell, and improved collimation optics will be discussed. Results from initial testing of the system during C-Mod operation, as well as fluctuation data from the most recent and previous campaigns will be presented and compared.
