A Brief tutorial to Thomson Scattering With a focus on LIDAR By Mark Kempenaars For the EFTS/EODI training, 12th June 2009 at Culham Science centre Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 1/35 Outline of Talk 1. Introduction 2. Thomson scattering theory – the highlights 3. Conventional TS 4. LIDAR TS 5. Towards ITER Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 2/35 Introduction Thomson scattering was first described in 1903 by J.J. Thomson, many years before lasers existed. Thomson discovered electrons in 1897. First application to a laboratory plasma in 1963 by Fünfer (First ruby laser in 1960) First measurements in hot plasmas by Peacock et al., in 1969 at the Russian T3 Tokamak Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 3/35 Thomson scattering theory Thomson scattering is nothing more than the interaction of EM radiation with an electron any light will do. We can use Maxwell’s equations (1873) to describe the forces on and movements of the electrons. The highlights… Let’s consider this experimental setup: dW Incident EM wave with amplitude E0, propagation vector k0, and angular frequency w0, so electric field at the electron is given by: E E0 cos k0 rj w0t Scattering Electron E0 Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars ks k j R q k0 rj Origin UKAEA 4/35 Theory cont’d - 1 This electric field will then apply a force dW on the electron (with mass m and charge e at position rj) and following Maxwell’s k k R E j equations, we get the acceleration of the q k r electron: e rj E0 cosk0 rj w0t m This equation clearly shows us that the electron will be oscillating up and down, together with the electric field of the light wave. Scattering Electron s 0 0 j Origin Since this electron is now a moving charged particle it will create an EM field of its own, with the same wavelength as the incoming light! Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 5/35 Theory cont’d - 2 When a moving electron like this is observed from a large distance (R>>l) its radiation can be described as dipole radiation: r02 E0 sin j E s R, t cosk rj w0t R This equation shows us that the radiation from ions is negligible compared to that of electrons, since r0 ~ 1/m: dW 2 me 2.966 10 7 mi Where k is the differential vector (ks-k0). and r0 is the classical electron radius: r0 e 2 40 mc2 Scattering Electron E0 ks k j q rj k0 Origin 2.82 1015 m Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 6/35 R Theory cont’d - 3 In this lay-out dW is the solid collection angle, it basically describes the fraction of scattered radiation we collect. If we then divide the total scattered power by this solid collection angle we get the differential scattering cross section: dW c 0 ES R d T 2 2 r sin j 0 2 1 dW 2 c 0 E0 1 2 2 Scattering Electron 2 E0 ks k j R q rj k0 Which tells us that the re-radiation is maximum perpendicular to E0; dT/dW=r02. 30 2 8 10 m And that the scattering cross section is very small Origin This makes it clear that every photon is important! And we want as big a window as possible. Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 7/35 Theory cont’d - 4 Obviously the scattered power depends on the number of electrons caught by the laser, but also on the interaction between them. This interaction start to happen above the Debye length. So this depends on the density and 3 Te lD 7.4 10 temperature of the electrons ne For Te = 10 keV, ne = 5×1019 m-3: lD ~ 100 mm (typical for JET) The so-called Salpeter-parameter tells us whether the scattering we are l0 observing is coherent or not: a klD 1 4lD sin q 2 If a << 1 : then the scattering is from individual electron: Incoherent TS If a ≥ 1 : then scattering by electrons surrounding ions; (Ion) Coherent Thomson Scattering If a ~ 5-20 : Scattering by electron density fluctuations, or Bragg-scattering Coherent Thomson scattering Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 8/35 Theory cont’d - 5 The total scattered power is given by: With P0 : ne : L : S(k,w) : d T Ps P0 ne LWS k , w sin 2 j dW Incident (laser) power Electron density in the plasma Length of scattering volume Scattering form factor describes frequency shifts from electron motion as well as correlation between electrons. The scattered light is clearly proportional to the density. The form function is given by: S k , w f vk w0 wS v dvk where f(n) is the velocity distribution In this equation the delta function tells you about the Doppler shift: wS v w0 k v Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 9/35 Theory cont’d - 6 If the velocity distribution f(v) is Maxwellian (i.e. low density, no interaction between particles) then: vk 2 f vk exp a a 1 with ‘a’ the thermal velocity: a 2k BT2 me One then finally finds an equation that contains wavelengths: lS l0 2 S lS exp l l 1 With l0 the incident wavelength and ls the scattered wavelength Where we then find the spectral width of the scattered light, which has a Gaussian shape: a q 2l0 q 2k BTe l 2l0 c sin 2 c sin 2 me If we were to take a Ruby laser (694.3nm) and 90º scattering then this would give: l nm 1.94 Te eV Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 10/35 Theory cont’d - 6 Once the electrons get really hot (i.e. really fast) we have to start including relativistic effects, which effectively change the scattering cross section of the electrons, by a factor 1/g 2 where g c is the Lorentz factor g , which shows that for a 1% 2 2 c a deviation we need an electron temperature of 2.56 keV. Also there is a “search light” effect or relativistic aberration, which means that the electrons radiate preferentially in their forward direction. E.g. moving at 10% of c, then power in forward direction increases by 36%, it decreases by 26% in backwards direction. This leads to a blue shift of the spectrum… Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 11/35 TS spectra So, what does this look like? 7 Scattered Spectra Spectral Intensity 6 Selden-Matoba, q=180o 5 0.5keV 5keV 10keV 20keV 40keV 4 3 2 1 0 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2 Normalised Wavelength l/llaser Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 12/35 TS Spectrometer What does a spectrometer look like?

A powerful pulsed laser – Typically one would get 1 photon in every 1×1014 back, e.g. if we use a 3GW laser pulse we get 30 mW back on a high density plasma (1020m-3) and 100% transmission. Fire this laser into the plasma – A window on the machine that can stand the high laser power and does not get dirty – plus the optics to deliver it there. Collect as much light as possible – A large window is needed that can see the laser line – This window can’t get dirty, or if it does we must be able to clean it. – The other optics need to be aligned and stable (also during disruptions etc.) Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 14/35 90º TS - Single point In the early days of TS on Fusion devices all TS systems were “single point” diagnostics, i.e. the optics were only looking at one point. This seems archaic but it was still one of the better and more reliable diagnostics. Laser This was also the case on JET, where a ruby laser was fired vertically into the plasma. A large set of windows and mirrors was used to relay the light to a spectrometer. Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars Plasma Collection optics UKAEA 15/35 90º TS - Multi point More modern systems have a range of points. Where each spatial point is imaged onto an optical fibre. Each fibre then represents a spatial point in the plasma, a high spatial resolution can be achieved by using a lot of fibres. Keep in mind however that a smaller volume will scatter fewer photons. Laser Plasma And this setup means one needs a spectrometer for each spatial position, so can get very expensive Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars Collection optics UKAEA 16/35 90º TS on JET – HRTS A new system was installed on JET in 2004. High Resolution Thomson 20 m Scattering. 20 + 10 m (50 ns) + 20 m(5J, (100 ns) - High 20 power 15ns) Nd:YAG laser. Fiber bundle into each polychromator - Fire at 20Hz, horizontally - Scattered light is then collected from a window at the top of the machine. In order to collect as many photons as possible we need a big window, largest Signal reconstruction with 50 ns delay on JET 20cm diameter. 63 spatial points on the LFS, at approximately 1.5cm resolution Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars ns UKAEA 17/35 90º TS on JET – HRTS cont’d 1 Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 18/35 MAST 90º TS A set of lasers can be fired in sequence or in a burst, giving a high temporal resolution ~1ms Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 19/35 LIDAR – 180º TS Now we go to q = 180º, or back scattering Light detection and ranging, we fire a laser pulse and count the elapsed time before we get a signal back, like in radar. Plasma Of course we have to count very quickly, since light travels at ~3×106 m/s (or 1m every 3ns) Major advantages: ‘Point and shoot’ method, which requires minimum access Mirror labyrinth Very short laser pulse ~250ps Only one spectrometer needed, but it has to be fast! Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 20/35 LIDAR – 2 The main advantages of LIDAR: The alignment is relatively easy Only one spectrometer Because of the previous two, much easier to calibrate and maintain The main disadvantage of LIDAR: Time is of the essence! If anything is slow it will contribute to the spatial resolution. HOWEVER! Time is on our side: Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 21/35 LIDAR – 3 Laser Pulse Plasma, Length L Scattered Light Scattered Light Note that the profile length in time is dt=2L/c. Effectively 15cm/ns! Instead of normal 30cm/ns Detector and laser response defines spatial resolution 7cm (ITER requirement) is equivalent to ~460ps combined laser and detector response time (so det/laser response ~300ps FWHM) Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 22/35 LIDAR on JET - 1 JET is the only fusion machine in the world that has LIDAR. LIDAR only really works on big machines due to its limitations in spatial resolution. Two LIDAR systems on JET, the Core LIDAR and the Edge LIDAR. The edge LIDAR has recently been upgraded with new detectors and digitiser, so it has better resolution. Core LIDAR Edge LIDAR Laser pulse length ~ 300ps ~ 300ps Laser power 3J/pulse = 10GW 1J/pulse = 3GW Detector response ~ 300ps ~ 650ps Digitiser response 8GHz, 20GSa/s 1GHz, 4GSa/s Spatial resolution ~ 6.5cm ~ 12cm Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 23/35 LIDAR on JET - 2 The total distance the laser beam has to travel is about 50m, important to keep the beam “nice”. Light is collected through a set of 6 windows Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 24/35 LIDAR on JET - 3 Collected light is relayed via a set of mirrors and lenses to the spectrometer. The Core LIDAR spectrometer has 6 detectors in a 3D layout. Each detector generates its own trace, these are then combined to form a temperature and density profile Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 25/35 Thomson Scattering Tutorial for EFTS/EODI, 12th June 2009, M.Kempenaars UKAEA 26/35 NEXT: ITER LIDAR Core LIDAR (C.01 group 1b – advanced plasma control) Target requirements 35 Te 0.5 – 40 keV (10%) ne 3x1019-3x1020m-3(5%) r/a < 0.9 10 ms ~7см (a/30) (100 Hz) Scenario 5n Te-keV ne x10^19/m3 Approx sample width 30 25 Short line indicates the required measurement resolution of a/30.
