A six-channel two-color interferometer has been developed for plasma electron density measurements in the C-2 field reversed configuration experiment. A CO(2) laser is utilized as the main probe beams, while copropagating visible HeNe laser beams are mainly sensitive to vibration. Density measurements in C-2 plasmas have shown that this is a reliable turn-key system. The maximum residual phase noise after vibration compensation is less than ±5°, corresponding to a line integral density of 3×10(18) m(-2). The time resolution for routine operation is 2 μs.
已开发出一种六通道双色干涉仪，用于在C - 2场反向配置实验中测量等离子体电子密度。使用二氧化碳激光器作为主要探测光束，而同向传播的可见氦氖激光束主要对振动敏感。在C - 2等离子体中的密度测量表明，这是一个可靠的交钥匙系统。振动补偿后的最大残余相位噪声小于±5°，对应线积分密度为3×10¹⁸ m⁻²。常规操作的时间分辨率为2 μs。
