Abstract :
A submillimeter-wave laser polarimeter with ferrite polarization modulators is described. The poloidal magnetic field and the plasma current density of a tokamak can be determined by measuring the Faraday rotation of the laser beam in plasma. High polarization sensitivity was observed in a stimulated tokamak plasma experiment.
