A New Doppler Shift Spectroscopy for Measurement of Neutral Beam Profile

A new diagnostic based on Doppler shift is designed to measure the power profile of a hydrogen or deuterium neutral beam on the magnetic confined fusion machines. The interference filters and multi-channel photon detector array (PDA) are the main components of this diagnosis. The multi-channel PDA measures the line integrated Doppler H_α signal emitted by the neutral beam at one section in two directions. The local intensity of neutral beam can be obtained with the tomography technique. Compared to the conventional calorimeter diagnoses, this diagnosis can provide the beam profile without blocking the injection of neutral beam.
