Abstract

A procedure to calculate normalized electron temperature and electron density fluctuations using dual wavelength emission intensity tomography in a linear magnetized plasma is proposed. Expression of emission intensity is modeled as ϵk ∞ Tαke n2e where ϵk is emission intensity, Te is electron temperature, ne is electron density, k = 1 for ArI, and k = 2 for ArII. Using the model, normalized Te and ne fluctuations can be expressed as linear function of both the normalized emission intensity fluctuations. To calculate αk, we perform least squares method between real ϵk measured with a tomography system and artificial ϵk reconstructed using Te and ne measured with a Langmuir probe located downstream of the tomography system. The results show that α1 = 2.2 and α2 = 2.6, and normalized Te and ne fluctuations are preliminarily evaluated from emission intensity tomography data.
