This is a key component of the tokamak reactor’s future diagnostic instruments. The purpose of the DIP will be to help control plasma by measuring the density of the electrons in order to ensure its stability and obtain an optimal energy yield.
Optical instrumentation design and manufacturing, such as the DIP technology, are key areas of excellence at Bertin Technologies, the French leader of industrial innovation for this field. Collaborating with the ITER program since 2009, through contracts with the ITER Organization at Cadarache, Fusion For Energy in Barcelona and Princeton Physics Plasma Laboratory in the USA, Bertin Technologies has developed itself , contributing to the control and safety of experiments as well as acquiring parametric data that will be used by physicians. Building on its unique experience and expertise, Bertin’s objective for the coming years is to take charge of other aspects of complete diagnostics for ITER, from the design phase to the installation on site.
