Four millimeter-submillimeter instruments will diagnose the TFTR plasma: (1) 1mm wave density interferometer, (2) Fast Scanning heterodyne radiometer, (3) Fourier Transform Spectrometer, and (4) 1mm wave density scattering. With the exception of the scattering system, the design of these diagnostics were presented at the Sixth International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves.1 This past year the 1mm interferometer and the fast scanning heterodyne receiver have measured the line average density and the time evolution of the electron temperature profile of the TFTR plasma during its initial operation.

The main sources of inaccuracy are the computational approximations and the fact that the best available molecular constants have beer evaluated from best fits of microwave data, which usually involve low quantum numbers only. These inaccuracies and the richness of the methanol spectrum generate several ambiguities in the line assignments, in particular in the assignment of the far infrared (FIR) lines of the CH3OH laser. In order to overcome these ambiguities we have started a systematic investigation of the Fourier absorption spectrum of methanol in the regions between 8 and 80 and between 950 and 1100 cm−1. The peak precisions of our Fourier spectra are 2×10−4 and 5×10−4 cm−1 respectively for the two spectral regions (1). With such precisions and with definite assignments for the absorption lines it is possible to form loops of lines containing at least three absorption lines and closed by an investigated laser line. The balance of the frequencies involved in the loop must give zero within the experimental errors, this leading practically always to a unique choice for the assignment of the laser line. We have thus been able to prove or disprove several previous assignments, to make new assignments and to predict the frequencies of some possible FIR laser lines not yet observed.","PeriodicalId":314918,"journal":{"name":"1983 Eighth International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116751335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tube employs a TE011/TE021 complex interaction cavity which inhibits mode competition by the TE221 mode with the desired TE021 mode. The output mode of the cavity is nominally in the TE02 circular waveguide mode in overmoded waveguide. Since the output waveguide also serves as the gyrotron collector, mode conversion occurs in the taper sections and gaps incorporated into the collector. Measurements of the mode conversion on a 60 GHz, 200 kw, 100 ms pulse tube, have been made and compared with similar measurements on the 60 GHz, 200 kW, CW gyrotron. These measurements indicated that the CW tube had significantly more conversion of the TE02 mode into other TEon modes than did the pulse tube. Current design work is aimed at reducing the mode conversion of the CW design to the same levels as the pulse design (≲10% mode conversion).","PeriodicalId":314918,"journal":{"name":"1983 Eighth International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129409215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
