摘要
A helicon source is driven with amplitude modulated RF at modulation frequencies near the ion cyclotron frequency in the VINETA device. In response to the modulation propagating electromagnetic waves are found, whose dispersion differs significantly from linear wave dispersion theory. This indicates that the observed waves are generated by non-linear wave coupling of the helicon waves with a second strongly damped or evanescent wave. Laser induced fluorescence measurements reveal a local increase of the ion temperature at the minimum of the modulation drive.
