This technique provides detailed information about the distribution of neutral particles in plasmas, which is crucial for understanding and controlling plasma behavior. However, the precise application of TPL faces a major challenge: the calibration process. Traditional calibration methods rely on a suite of expensive, complex, and bulky equipment. These instruments are not only costly but also pose significant challenges in aligning the optical path and transporting the calibration system.
[0003] Regarding hydrogen, at normal temperature and pressure, hydrogen exists in the form of hydrogen molecules. However, when our goal is to measure hydrogen atoms, the devices usually used for calibration are different from the actual working conditions, and it is difficult to generate sufficient hydrogen atoms for calibration.

Tokamaks are large-scale devices used for nuclear fusion research, and their complex internal environments often do not provide the conditions for direct calibration of two-photon laser-induced fluorescence systems. This requires researchers and engineers to complete calibration externally before installing the system within the tokamak, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and difficulty of the operation.

[0076] Working principle: example one: the vacuum valve 103 is connected to the air pump and the molecular pump, and the air pressure in the vacuum calibration cavity 2 is reduced to 1x10 -4 Pa, then the vacuum valve 103 is closed, and the air pump and the molecular pump are removed. The whole device system is moved to the front of the two-photon laser-induced fluorescence system, and the position is adjusted so that the laser can be incident into the vacuum calibration cavity 2 through the observation window 5, and the induced fluorescence can be received by the detection device 4 after passing through the observation window 5, and the optical path is as shown in Figure 6 After the position adjustment of the calibration device is completed, the flow control valve 102 is opened, so that the vacuum calibration cavity 2 is filled with krypton gas, and the vacuum gauge 6 reads 1x10 -1Pa. Set the laser wavelength to 204.00 nm, start the laser to emit laser, use the detection device 4 to get the fluorescence intensity, record the laser wavelength and fluorescence intensity value. Repeat the above steps, so that the laser wavelength from 204.00 nm interval 0.01 nm to 205.00 nm, get the fluorescence intensity corresponding to different laser wavelength, draw the laser wavelength-fluorescence intensity graph, determine the higher fluorescence intensity range. In the higher fluorescence intensity range, adjust the laser wavelength every 0.001 nm, get more accurate laser wavelength-fluorescence intensity graph, use Gaussian function to curve fitting. Thus, the spectrum line calibration of krypton atom is completed.
[0077] Example two: vacuum valve 103 connects air pump and molecular pump, the pressure in the vacuum calibration cavity 2 is reduced to 1x10 -4 Pa, then close the vacuum valve 103, remove the air pump and molecular pump connection. The whole device system is moved to the front of the two-photon laser-induced fluorescence system, adjust the position of the calibration device, so that the laser can be incident into the vacuum calibration cavity 2 through the observation window 5, and the induced fluorescence can be received by the detection device 4 after passing through the observation window 5. After completing the position adjustment of the calibration device, open the flow control valve 102, so that the vacuum calibration cavity 2 chamber is filled with krypton gas, and the vacuum gauge 6 reads 1x10 -1 Pa. According to the above calibrated krypton atom spectrum line, adjust the laser wavelength to the laser wavelength corresponding to the highest fluorescence intensity. Start the laser, record the gas pressure and fluorescence intensity value, complete a test. Open the flow control valve 102, fill the vacuum calibration cavity 2 chamber with krypton gas, so that the vacuum gauge 6 reads 2x10 -1 Pa, 3x10 -1 Pa, 4x10 -1 Pa, 5x10 -1 Pa, repeat the above test steps, record the fluorescence intensity value corresponding to different gas pressure. Use the ideal gas state equation to get the corresponding neutral particle density value through the gas pressure, make the neutral particle density-fluorescence intensity value graph, and make linear fitting. Thus, the neutral particle gas density-fluorescence intensity system calibration is completed.
[0078] Example three: vacuum valve 103 connects air pump and molecular pump, the pressure in the vacuum calibration cavity 2 is reduced to 1x10 -4Pa, then the vacuum valve 103 is closed, the gas pump and the molecular pump are removed. The whole system is carried to the front of the two-photon laser-induced fluorescence system, the ionization device 3 is connected to the high-voltage power supply, the hydrogen molecules are ionized by the discharge electrode plate 302, and the hydrogen atoms are generated in the vacuum calibration cavity 2. Then the laser is incident into the vacuum calibration cavity 2 through the observation window 5, the induced fluorescence can be received by the detection device 4 after passing through the observation window 5, the different laser wavelengths are adjusted, the fluorescence intensity change is recorded, and the calibration hydrogen atom excitation spectrum line characteristics are obtained. The fluorescence intensity change is compared with the fluorescence intensity change of the krypton atom in example two, and the hydrogen atom density is obtained.
