Abstract

Finite ion Larmor radius modification of lower-hybrid waves in the ACT-1 toroidal plasma at frequencies ..omega.. approx. = 4 to 8 ..omega../sub ci/, close to the lower-hybrid resonance layer, is observed experimentally. Probe and CO/sub 2/ laser scans of the wave amplitude show interference patterns at frequencies above each ion cyclotron harmonic. Modeling with a hot-ion, electrostatic ray tracing code and Fourier reconstruction of the waveform suggests that linear mode conversion to hot plasma waves is occurring.
