The authors discuss the use of the resonance fluorescence method with laser pumping of optical transitions of excited hydrogen atoms for high-temperature plasma diagnostics. The calculations were performed for the Balmer Hα line, λ = 6563 Å. The conclusions reached may also be generalized to other hydrogen lines. Experimental results obtained on the FT-1 tokamak are presented and discussed.
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.
