- An experimental setup and ion diagnostic method for laser-induced fuel removal and decomposition of co-deposited layers on plasma facing components from tokamaks are described. Nd:YAG 3.5 ns pulse laser with a repetition rate of 10 Hz and single-pulse energy of up to 0.8J at 1.06 mu m has been used for irradiation of a graphite limiter tile from the TEXTOR tokamak. Comparative studies have been performed for a pure graphite plate as a reference target. Energy of emitted ions has been measured using a time-of-flight method. Early results show that laser pulses efficiently ablate the co-deposit removing both fuel species and heavy components such as Si, Ni, Cr, Fe and W present in the layers. Surface topography of the irradiated targets is also presented.
