Spectroscopy on magnetically confined plasmas using electron beam ion trap spectrometers

Multiple spectrometers originally designed for and used at the University of California Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s electron beam ion trap have found use at various magnetically confined plasma facilities. Three examples will be described. First is a soft X-ray/EUV grating spectrometer (6–150 A), which is operating at the National Spherical Torus Experiment. Second is an EUV spectrometer with wavelength coverage up to 400 A, which has just recently started operating at the Sustained Spheromak Physics Experiment. The last is a high-resolution transmission-grating spectrometer for visible light that has been used at the Compact Toroid Injection Experiment and is currently at the Alcator C-Mod tokamak.PACS Nos.: 39.30.+w, 52.55.–s, 32.30.Rj, 07.60.Rd, 52.70.La
