We show for the first time experimentally that plasma turbulence can be detected easily when an electromagnetic extraordinary wave launched from the inner side of a toroidal magnetized plasma reaches a turbulent resonance layer. The second-harmonic wave generated inside the resonance layer is detected from outside the magnetized plasma and its power spectrum is analyzed. This new technique could be developed for distant probing of plasma turbulence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
