Experimental and theoretical thermal analysis of CVD diamond window units for the ITER upper launcher

An ITER torus window prototype with CVD diamond disks and corrugated waveguides are being investigated by using IR imaging and temperature measuring technique during high power RF microwave loading up to 1 MW at a frequency of 170 GHz at the JAEA gyrotron facility. To evaluate the cooling efficiency of the window design the temperature distribution over the diamond disk area is measured and compared with a theoretical thermal FEM analysis.
