Abstract

The size of the latest generation of tokamaks (TFTR, JET, JT-60) relative to the smaller tokamaks leads to a number of advantages for the measurement of electron temperature using ECE. The longer period of the temperature sawtooth (typically 40-80 ms) in TFTR has allowed the study of profile evolution during a sawtooth. The higher values of the single-pass optical depth, resulting from the larger major radius, have allowed the temperature to be measured during plasma startup and near the plasma edge, where the density and temperature are low. Furthermore, the spatial resolution relative to the plasma diameter has improved, making the detailed study of profile shapes possible. Descriptions are given of the Michelson interferometer and the scanning radiometer ECE diagnostic systems on TFTR.
