Abstract
A beam emission spectroscopy system has been installed on DIII-D to provide localized density fluctuation measurements for long-wavelength turbulent modes with t≤3 cm-1 which are typically associated with anomalous radial transport. High signal-to-noise fluctuations measurements are accomplished through use of high speed electronics to maintain a frequency response of over 500 KHz and cryogenically cooled amplifiers and detectors to reduce electronic noise. The optics and neutral beam-sightline geometry have been optimized to allow for spatial resolution of Δr ≤1 cm. In addition, a half-scale two-dimensional (2D) fiber array to measure the 2D turbulent density field, necessary to measure the full S(kr,kθ) wavenumber spectra, has been implemented and initial results obtained.
