Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a
potential method for in situ monitoring of deposition and
retention in fusion devices and is developed with the aim
of being integrated in the diagnostics system of ITER.
The inner divertor of the ITER-like wall of JET was
studied by LIBS to show the applicability of the method
in JET and ITER. The elemental depth profiles agreed with
those given by earlier SIMS measurements. Deuterium was
detected in the deposited layers and successfully
distinguished from hydrogen. The poloidal patterns of the
retained deuterium and deposited beryllium were also in
line with the SIMS results with the largest deposition
and retention taking place on the top part of Tile 1 and
bottom part of Tile 3. The results of these studies
support LIBS as a promising in situ solution to replace
the present post mortem methods in monitoring metallic
deposited layers.
