The central electron temperature has successfully reached up to 7.5 keV in large helical
device (LHD) plasmas with a central high-ion temperature of 5 keV and a central electron …

This work opens a series of papers where we develop a general quasi-optical theory for
mode-converting electromagnetic beams in plasma and implement it in a numerical …

Improvements in electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and current drive (ECCD)
predictions are important issues for the design and control of high-performance fusion …

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the use of millimeter waves (mmw) at the electron
cyclotron (EC) frequencies ranges from plasma diagnostics to plasma heating, current drive …

This work continues a series of papers where we propose an algorithm for quasi-optical
modeling of electromagnetic beams with and without mode conversion. The general theory …

We report the first applications of the quasioptical (QO) code PARADE (PAraxial RAy
DEscription) for modeling the electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostic. Geometrical …

Here we report on the upgrade of the quasioptical code PAraxial RAy DEscription (2019
Phys. Plasmas 26 072112) to introduce the relativistic effect for electron cyclotron resonance …

Microwave heating of a high-temperature plasma confined in a large-scale open magnetic
trap, including all important wave effects like diffraction, absorption, dispersion, and wave …

A new approach to the problem of the passage of the extraordinary wave through the region
of the electron–cyclotron resonance in inhomogeneous plasma was considered in the …
