Development of a vibration-compensated CO2 interferometer for the RFX experiment
The accuracy of a vibration-compensated CO2 interferometer is often worse than expected in the design phase. This paper describes a laboratory study performed during the development of a multichord tw...

A versatile 2 mm scanning interferometer has been built for the CDX-U machine. The unique diagnostic access of CDX-U allows a vertical view through windows on the top and bottom, and a two-pass horizontal view through a side window which utilizes reflection off of a mirror mounted on the center column of the vessel. A single launching antenna and two separate receivers can be operated in a variety of modes including simple interferometry, polarimetry, and scattering. The optics, mechanical translation system, and 2 mm heterodyne receiver are described. Review of Scientific Instruments is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.
