Sequentially-framing soft X-ray pinhole camera for Tokamak plasma studies
Abstract
X-ray camera techniques developed in laser fusion were applied to view Tokamak discharges in 1 to 3 keV light. The camera consists of an image intensifier fluor combination viewing the plasma tangentially through a pinhole. The resultant image is optically coupled to a standard CCD television camera for remote viewing. The first intensifier is gated so that the camera produces a sequence of photos every 16 milliseconds of variable frame duration from 16 ms to 10 microseconds.
