Abstract

Improved localization of emission and reduction of artefacts have been achieved in tomographic reconstructions of the tangentially viewing spectroscopic divertor cameras in JET by introducing the contribution of reflections from the metallic wall surfaces in the geometry definition of the tomography process. The reconstructions thus describe the plasma emission only without features arising from misinterpreted reflected light. Benchmarks with synthetic emission distributions showed accurate reproduction within 10% and 1-2% of the reference emission distributions and camera images, respectively, when the reflection correction was applied. Without the correction, the reconstructed emission was observed to concentrate from the divertor volume towards the wall surfaces together with bright emission artefacts appearing in front of the surfaces to reproduce the reflections seen in the camera images.
