Title: A New Method For The Diagnosis Of High Energy Plasmas From A Broadband Spectrometer
Abstract: I participated in the development of a broadband spectrometer for the diag- nosis of high energy plasmas (2-250 nm). Spectra for Li, Fe, Sn, W, Mo, and Al have been obtained for these high energy transitions using a Toshiba TCD1304AP linear array CCD and an ORMINS analog to digital Converter. A new method for obtaining spectra has been implemented to facilitate the development of a computer interface that allows for real time analysis of high energy plasmas. This method replaces the analog to digital converter with a LeCroy Wavejet 354 oscilloscope. Spectra have been obtained using the LeCroy ScopeExplorer program. It is now possible to develop a computer in- terface in LabVIEW that will allow for the real time analysis of spectra in the 2-250 nm range.
