Luhmann, Jr, N C

The goal of the Task IIIB program at UCLA has been to initiate, develop and demonstrate advanced diagnostic systems and techniques relevant to mainline fusion devices such as TFTR, ''Big DEE'', MFTF-B, and TEXT. The main activities carried out under IIIB have centered around the development of multichannel detector arrays for interferometry, scattering and polarimetry applications, high power far infrared sources and ..cap alpha..-particle distribution measurements. Historically, the program philosophy has been to take advantage of UCLA's unique location in the midst of the center of the US aerospace and microwave electronics industry to enter into cooperative research and development programs with nearby high technology laboratories. This technology is then transferred to the fusion program at low cost. An increasingly important role which was latterly successfully implemented within the program was the dissemination of diagnostics information to the fusion community. This was achieved by a variety of means: organizing and participating in topical workshops and writing review articles on the state-of-the-art in a number of areas.
