Abstract
Polarization resolved measurements of the parallel refractive index N-parallel to equivalent to ck(parallel to)/w of the driven RF waves in the lower hybrid (LH) range of frequencies are performed using arrays of RF magnetic probes in the scrape-off layer plasma of Alcator C-Mod. The measured N-parallel to of the RF magnetic field component parallel to the background magnetic field is about -1.6, which corresponds to the peak of the launched LH N-parallel to spectrum. Based on the wave dispersion relationship, this wave is identified as the LH slow wave. On the other hand, the RF magnetic field component perpendicular to the magnetic field is found to have a lower N-parallel to of -1.2, and is detected only near the last closed flux surface. This wave is identified as the LH fast wave generated by slow-fast wave mode conversion.
