摘要
This paper presents a feasibility study of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the development of an in-situ diagnostic for the characterization of deposition layers on plasma-facing components in fusion devices. Preferentially, LIBS would be applied in the presence of a toroidal magnetic field and under high vacuum conditions. The impact of the laser-energy densities on the laser-induced plasma parameters and correspondingly on the number of emitted photons and on the reproducibility of the LIBS method has been studied in laboratory experiments and in TEXTOR on fine-grain graphite (EK98) as well as on bulk W samples coated with carbon and metallic-containing deposits. The effect of magnetic fields and of ambient pressures in the range from 2x10(-4) Pa to 10 Pa on the carbon plasma plume produced by the LIBS technique has been studied on TEXTOR between plasma pulses. The possibility of applying this method to ITER is discussed.
