Note: Internal diamagnetic flux measurements on ASDEX Upgrade.

Internal diamagnetic flux measurements, with measurement loops and compensation magnetic probes inside the vacuum vessel, are now available on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. The measured diamagnetic flux is compared to that predicted by simulations and calculated from equilibrium reconstruction. The diamagnetic flux measured at 2 positions separated toroidally by 180° in the vacuum vessel is compared.

Transmission loss caused by an angular misalignment between two multimode fibers with arbitrary profile exponents.

The coupling efficiency between two multimode fibers with an angular misalignment is calculated. For the practically interesting cases of parabolic and step-index profiles, closed-form expressions and simple approximations are derived. Furthermore a general loss formula for small tilt angles and arbitrary profile exponents is presented.
