Abstract

This paper discusses low-power windows for millimetre-wave diagnostics on the JET torus. When tritium is used as afusion fuel in JET repairs will be difficult on the radioactive machine and additional precautions must be taken to avoidvacuum leaks. Double, interpumped vacuum windows will be necessary. Window design is further restricted by therequirement that the bond between the window itself and its supporting ferrule must withstand repeated cycling to aworking temperature of about 250Ã‚Â° C. The most satisfactory arrangement for low power millimetre waves uses z-cutcrystal quartz windows, gold diffusion bonded to stainless steel ferrules, as manufactured by the Special TechniquesGroup of A E A Technology. Where possible wedged windows are avoided for ease of alignment.Even with a single window multiple reflections cause the transmission to be significantly frequency dependent. Figure1(a) shows the calculated intensity transmission spectrum for a 6 mm quartz window, assuming n = 2.1 over thefrequency range. With double windows the additional reflections in the multiple etalons cause the transmission to bestrongly frequency dependent and create severe problems for the diagnostic systems. Temperature effects are alsoimportant. Figure 1(b) shows the intensity transmission spectrum for two 6 mm windows separated by 5 mm.
