Fast imaging system on Tore Supra

Rev Sci Instrum. 2009 Mar;80(3):033504. doi: 10.1063/1.3098944.

Abstract

A new endoscope aiming at transferring the image of a poloidal section of the Tore Supra plasma to a fast camera able to record frames at a speed up to 4800 frames per second at full resolution, or much faster for a limited number of pixel, has been installed on Tore Supra. First movies showing the light emission associated to fast phenomena such as plasma start up, disruptions or gas and pellet injections have been produced.
