Spatially resolved measurement of helium atom emission line spectrum in scrape-off layer of Heliotron J by near-infrared Stokes spectropolarimetry.

For plasma spectroscopy, Stokes spectropolarimetry is used as a method to spatially invert the viewing-chord-integrated spectrum on the basis of the correspondence between the given magnetic field profile along the viewing chord and the Zeeman effect appearing on the spectrum. Its application to fusion-related toroidal plasmas is, however, limited owing to the low spatial resolution as a result of the difficulty in distinguishing between the Zeeman and Doppler effects. To resolve this issue, we increased the relative magnitude of the Zeeman effect by observing a near-infrared emission line on the basis of the greater wavelength dependence of the Zeeman effect than of the Doppler effect.

All-optical thermometry using a single multimode fiber endoscope and diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen vacancy centers.

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra from diamond nanoparticles containing negative nitrogen vacancy centers were measured by using a single multimode fiber endoscope combined with a high-sensitivity spectroscopy system. A laser light spot was produced at the distal end of the endoscope and the PL spectra from a temperature-controlled ensemble of diamond nanoparticles were measured. After calibrating the sensitivity and wavelength of the spectroscopy system, the temperature dependence of the zero-phonon line peak wavelength similar to those previously reported was obtained.

Development of a polarization-modulation spectroscopy system for the temporally resolved measurement of linear polarization in plasma emission.

A system to measure linear polarization in the HeI 2P-3D emission line (667.8 nm) was developed for application to plasma polarization spectroscopy. To verify the system performance, the normalized Stokes parameters were evaluated.
