Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:30.68(Nuclear Science & Technology)High efficiency ECCD operations need an obliquely propagating electromagnetic wave with a specified elliptical polarization in magnetized plasma. The polarizer is necessary in order to excite the specified polarization. In the ITER design for ECCD system, the transmitted power per one waveguide is planned to be 1 MW as CW operation. The ohmic loss evaluation code for grooved mirror polarizers which calculates tangential magnetic field to the material at exterior to the groove and inside of that was developed. Calculation results were made sure of agreement with high power experiment qualitatively, and validity of the evaluation code has been confirmed.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:30.51(Nuclear Science & Technology)The specification of an electron cyclotron current driving (ECCD) system in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) demands severe operational conditions for transmission lines and polarizers. For evaluating Ohmic loss of a miter bend type polarizer, the six polarizers were made of chromium copper alloy, installed in miter bends and tested at a frequency of 170GHz, rf power of 441kW and pulse duration of 0.1-6 seconds. The increase in temperature on the back of the grooved mirrors has been measured with thermo couplers during high power rf pulses. The Ohmic loss of grooved mirrors strongly depends on the rotation angle of the polarization plane of the incident waves and the mirror rotation in high power experiments, for example the Ohmic loss distributed from 0.2% to1.6%. The thermal analysis of grooved mirror has been performed with the 3D FEM code: FEVA. The all strange behavior of Ohmic loss of polarizers could be explained, theoretically.

An electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) system is, especially, necessary to suppress the neoclassical tearing mode instability in ITER. The polarizers are one of the important components in the ECCD system, to generate optimum polarization for an efficient ECCD. An ohmic loss of the polarizers is evaluated, when 170GHz, high power RF wave taransmits, in oreder to investigate its performance. The maximum temperature increase on the back plate of the deep grooved and the conventinal type were 65C and 30C, respectively. RF power and pulse were 441kW and 6sec, respectively. The dependence of temperature increase on the plolarizer angle obtained in the experiment agrees with the calculation, qualitatively. It was also found that the significant reduction of ohmic loss on the polarizers was achievable with the optimized rotation angle of the linearly polarized incident wave.
