Instrumentation for the upgrade to the JET core charge-exchange spectrometers

Charge-exchange spectroscopy on JET has become particularly challenging with the introduction of the ITER-like wall. The line intensities are weaker and contaminated by many nuisance lines. We have therefore upgraded the instrumentation to improve throughput and allow the simultaneous measurement of impurity and fuel-ion charge exchange by splitting the light between two pairs of imaging spectrometers using dichroic beam splitters. Imaging instruments allow us to stack 11 x 1 mm diameter fibres on the entrance slits without cross talk. CCD cameras were chosen to have 512 x 512 pixels to allow frame transfer times
