Observation of a nonlinear phenomenon of the density fluctuations on zheda plasma experiment device (ZPED)

An O-mode microwave reflectometry system has been developed to measure the density fluctuation on Zheda Plasma Experiment Device (ZPED). The microwave frequency range of this diagnostic system is from 10 GHz to 18 GHz, corresponding to the cutoff densities from 0.13×1019m-3 to 0.4×1019m-3. The densi...

description An O-mode microwave reflectometry system has been developed to measure the density fluctuation on Zheda Plasma Experiment Device (ZPED). The microwave frequency range of this diagnostic system is from 10 GHz to 18 GHz, corresponding to the cutoff densities from 0.13×1019m-3 to 0.4×1019m-3. The density fluctuations are measured with a fixed microwave frequency for plasma in different magnetic field. It has been observed that the density fluctuation power changes with the magnetic field nonlinearly: the density fluctuations increase linearly with the magnetic field when the magnetic field is less than the critical magnetic field, while almost no change when the magnetic field is larger than the critical magnetic field.
