HL-3托卡马克多尺度湍流相干散射诊断系统的光学窗口设计

Design of windows for multi-scale turbulence collective scattering diagnostic system on HL-3 Tokamak

  • 摘要: 高性能等离子体运行下的多尺度湍流与输运研究是磁约束聚变研究中的重要课题。HL-3托卡马克实验装置的等离子体参数范围决定了远红外激光相干散射是多尺度湍流实验研究所需的最佳诊断手段。本文将基于诊断系统的整体设计参数,详细介绍HL-3托卡马克上的远红外激光相干散射诊断系统的窗口设计。多尺度湍流相干散射诊断系统与HL-3装置相关的窗口界面为6号与12号中平面窗口。这是两个大型复合窗口,其中6号复合窗口上高于中平面100 mm的CF100法兰窗口为主激光入射窗口,12号复合窗口上垂直排列的三个CF165法兰窗口为主激光和散射光的出射窗口。窗口的设计主要需要考虑窗口的透过率、尺寸、真空密封与安全的要求。对于入射窗口的设计,其透过率与窗口材料、厚度有关,窗口的尺寸由高斯光束传播特性决定,窗口的厚度与尺寸设定还需要考虑真空密封与安全要求。出射窗口在设计中除了需要考虑以上因素,还需要重点考虑诊断的物理需求。窗口的高度尺寸与诊断系统的波数测量范围密切相关;同时,受磁场与运行模式影响,对于不同的散射角度,散射光在水平方向上存在角度偏移,窗口的宽度设计作出了相应的调整。

     

    Abstract:
    Background
    The study of multi-scale turbulence and related anomalous transport under high-performance plasma operation remains an important topic in the research of magnetic confinement fusion. The parameter range of plasmas in the tokamak experiment determines that far-infrared laser collective scattering is the optimal diagnostic method for multi-scale turbulence diagnostics.
    Purpose
    This paper discusses the overall design parameters of the diagnostic system and provide a detailed introduction to the design of the windows for the multi-scale turbulence collective scattering (MSTCS) diagnostic system on the HL-3 Tokamak.
    Methods
    The laser beam entrance window of the MSTCS diagnostic system is located in the mid-plane port #6 of the HL-3 tokamak, and the scattered light beams exit from the windows in the mid-plane port #12. The design aspects of the windows include the material selection, clear aperture calculation, window thickness design, mechanical design, and surface quality requirements. Several interrelated factors need to be considered in the design process. These include the diagnostic wavenumber range, wavenumber resolution, wavenumber purity of the scattering data, laser beam transmission coefficients, and the requirements for vacuum sealing and safety.
    Results
    On the basis of these considerations, a corresponding design scheme was formulated. The technical details of the analysis and design process as well as the design results are presented.
    Conclusions
    The MSTCS diagnostic system has been successfully installed on HL-3, and preliminary experimental data confirm the vacuum safety and optical performance of the diagnostic windows, thereby validating the overall design.
