A method is described for thinning out the resonant-frequency spectrum of an axisymmetric microwave resonator by means of absorbing rings. A thinning by a factor of approx.5 has been achieved experimentally in a resonator approx.70 mm in diameter excited in the 8-mm range. The possible extension of this method to large resonators is discussed in connection with measurement of the spatial profile of the plasma density in tokamaks. (AIP)
