Development of a LIBS system for in situ surface measurements during plasma exposure in PISCES-A
- Univ. of California, San Diego, CA (United States)
A laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system has been developed with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (wavelength = 1064 nm and pulse width ~5 ns) to conduct in situ surface measurements during plasma exposure in the PISCES-A linear divertor plasma simulator. The LIBS signal enhancement is obtained with both the magnetic field normal to the surface of a target and steady-state background plasma. Migration of sputtered Ta impurities onto the neighboring Cr surface is identified during He plasma exposure, only when cone structures are formed on the Cr surface. D retention in W during D plasma exposure is observed to decrease with increasing the sample temperature. The temporal evolution of D outgassing from W is measured in a time range of ~10-420 s right after D plasma exposure. A power law fit, t-α, yields α ~ 0.34 ± 0.09, which is nearly consistent with calculated and measured values.
