TI - Optical Coatings as Mirrors for Optical Diagnostics JO - Journal of coating science and technology VL - 2 IS - 3 SN - 2369-3355 CY - Mississauga PB - Lifescience Global M1 - FZJ-2016-00192 SP - 72 - 78 PY - 2016 AB - The aim of this work was to provide a comprehensive insight concerning coated films which might be used for first mirrors in ITER. The influence of the mirror crystallite size has been addressed as well as the coating techniques to provide nanocrystalline films. Tests of coated mirrors both in laboratories and in tokamaks are reviewed. For the tokamak tests a wide angle camera system has been installed in JET-ILW which is composed of a mirror box with 3 stainless steel mirrors coated with rhodium viewing the torus through a conically shaped aperture. The system delivered the required image quality for plasma monitoring and wall protection. No or insignificant degradation of the optical transmittance has been observed during the experimental campaign in 2014 with about 3000 plasma pulses in different magnetic field configurations LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 DO - DOI:10.6000/2369-3355.2015.02.03.1 UR - https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/280415 ER -
