MEASUREMENT OF THE FARADAY EFFECT IN A THETA-PINCH PLASMA USING A HE-NE LASER,

Abstract

A measurement is reported of the Faraday rotation in a theta-pinch plasma, using a He-Ne laser, operating at 6328A, as the light source. This provides a means of measuring the magnetic field within a plasma, without perturbing the plasma.
