Fiber Optic Based Optical Tomography Sensor for Monitoring Plasma Uniformity

Published

Author(s)

Eric C. Benck, K Etemadi

Abstract

A new type of fiber optic based optical tomography sensor has been developed for potential in situ monitoring of plasma uniformity. Optical tomography inverts optical emission measurements into the actual plasma distribution without assuming radial symmetry. The new sensor is designed to operate with only two small windows and acquire the necessary data in less than a second. Optical tomography is being tested on an ICP-GEC RF plasma source. Variations in plasma uniformity are measured as a function of different plasma conditions.
