Abstract

The use of infrared camera diagnostic to measure the surface temperatures on the lower divertor and center stack was discussed. The infrared imaging system was installed on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. The Indigo Alpha camera is a 160×128 pixel microbolometer operating in the 7-13 μm range with a 30 Hz frame rate. An example of the calibrated divertor temperature and heat flux profiles was shown as a function of divertor tile major radius from the machine centerline.
