Abstract
A set of seven polycrystalline mirror samples retrieved
from the JET tokamak has been cleaned in vacuum using a
pulsed laser system. The surfaces of samples exposed to
plasma during 2008-2009 campaigns as part of the second
phase of a comprehensive first mirror test contained a
mixture of carbon, beryllium and tritium. For this
reason, the samples were treated in a vacuum chamber
constructed specially for this purpose. In some cases
mirrors show an increase of the specular reflectivity
after cleaning, though beryllium and carbon deposits were
not fully removed. Additionally, three samples coated in
PISCES-B with a 110-120 nm beryllium layer were subjected
to laser cleaning tests as well
