A multichannel three-wave far-infrared polarimeter-interferometer will be constructed on the J-TEXT tokamak (R=1.05 m, a=0.27 m, B{sub T}{<=}3 T, and I{sub P}{<=}350 kA) for current density profile and electron density profile measurements. The system will adopt the three-wave polarimeter configuration which was first introduced on RTP. Three 432.5 {mu}m HCOOH lasers pumped by three CO{sub 2} lasers separately will be adopted, which could generate high output power, nearly 50 mW at each cavity. Two of them will be counter-rotating circularly polarized to probe the Faraday angle, while the third laser will be used as a local oscillator to get the phase shift caused by electron density. Excellent port access (600x76 mm{sup 2}) and high laser power would promise a profile measurement across the whole plasma section with good signal quality. A high-speed digital phase comparator with a few ({approx}2) {mu}s temporal resolution will be developed, so that fast changes of current or density profile could be measured. Six channels will be installed in the first stage.
