Bolometer sensor holder suitable for ITER-relevant conditions
2023
The ITER bolometer diagnostic shall provide the measurement of the total radiation emitted from the plasma, a part of the overall energy balance. Up to 550 lines-of-sight will be installed in ITER in 71 cameras of various sizes and types. The sensor holder, the component inside those cameras to provide attachment and signal connections to the sensor itself, might vary in shape within each camera. However, concepts for implementing electrical connections and handling of loads are very similar, if not identical. Tak…
