Abstract

Stokes spectropolarimetry is a method to determine the polarization of an emission line spectrum by decomposing the spectrum into four Stokes parameters. In magnetized fusion-related toroidal plasmas, it can be used for the spatial inversion of a chord-integrated emission line spectrum using the correspondence between the spectrum shape affected by the Zeeman effect and a known magnetic field profile along the viewing chord. This paper reviews the principles and application history of the inversion. In addition, a possible improvement of the inversion accuracy by observing an emission line of a longer wavelength that is based on the difference in wavelength dependences between the Zeeman effect and the other factors affecting the line shape is discussed. As an example, a near-infrared spectropolarimetry system that simultaneously measures orthogonal linear polarization components and the results of inversion for the He I 23S-23P emission line spectrum (1083 nm) in Heliotron J obtained by an atomic Monte Carlo transport simulation are introduced.

Notes

  1. I use Eqs. (1) and (2) only for the conceptual explanation of the Zeeman effect, and the spectra presented in this review are basically calculated using the perturbation method.
