More Details: Mitigation of heat on the first wall through divertor operation is a key to a successful future fusion reactor. W7-X employs an island divertor to control the exhaust and heat load on the plasma impacting divertor plates. Increased radiation in the divertor reduces the heat load at the plasma contact point during detachment. In this paper we investigate the distribution of the radiation using an InfraRed imaging Video Bolometer (IRVB) that views the divertor region in two dimensions giving information on both the poloidal and toroidal variation of the radiation in comparison to conventional resistive bolometer arrays that typically only give poloidal variation information. Experiments were carried out using a standard magnetic configuration modified by changing control and planar coil currents to achieve three different island sizes without changing the strike line location. For each island size low and high density (ne = ∼4 and ∼ 7 x 1019/m3, respectively) plasmas were created with ∼ 2 MW of ECH input power, which correspond to attached and detached plasmas with radiated power fractions (frad) of ∼ 20–25 % and ∼ 90 %, respectively.Results indicate an increase in density led to an increase in the IRVB radiation signals as seen in the total radiated power (and frad) and a slight broadening in the signals indicating less radiation from the target locations, especially the lower right location in the IRVB field of view when compared with the corresponding thermography images. However, no noticeable difference in the IRVB radiation pattern or intensity is seen with the change of the island size.
