Abstract

Enhanced conversion of thermal electron Bernstein waves (EBW) to the extraordinary electromagnetic mode was studied. The conversion efficiency was measured when the density scale length (L_n) was progressively shortened by a local boron nitride limiter. It was found that the maximum conversion efficiency approached 50% when L_n was reduced to 0.7 cm.
