Pedestal magnetic field measurements using a motional Stark effect polarimeter.

Temperature-controlled, 0.15 nm interference filters were installed on an edge-viewing system of the motional Stark effect (MSE) polarimeter on the DIII-D tokamak. The upgraded system provides a factor of two reduction in the bandpass compared to the previous design, and linear control of the bandpass, which is unaltered by wavelength tuning. With the new system, there is a reduced dependence of the inferred polarization angle on the filter wavelength calibration. Recent measurements from the calibrated edge-viewing system show increased agreement with other MSE arrays.
