Notes:
A millimeter-wave two-dimensional imaging array has been developed for diagnostics of magnetically confined plasmas. It is applied to the plug cell of the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror, and measures time evolution of radial and axial line-density and electron cyclotron emission (ECE) profiles in one plasma shot. The monolithic-type GaAs Schottky diode detector having an antenna and built-in amplifier on a GaAs substrate is newly fabricated using monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology. This novel detector is developed to attain high frequency response up to submillimeter-wave region and wideband heterodyne characteristics, and is expected to be applied to ECE imaging in a large helical device. The response of the detector is compared with that of the hybrid-type detector using beam-lead Schottky barrier diodes. The first experimental result of the ECE measurement is reported using a heterodyne radiometer with the MMIC detector. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
