    A spectrally selective imaging system has been developed to obtain a distribution of Hα emissions at the extraction region in a hydrogen negative ion source. The diagnostic system consisted of an aspherical lens, optical filters, a fiber image conduit, and a charge coupled device detector was installed on the 1/3-scaled hydrogen negative ion source in the National Institute for Fusion Science. The center of sight line passes beside the plasma grid (PG) surface with the distance of 11 mm, and the viewing angle has coverage 35 mm from the PG surface. Two dimensional Hα distribution in the range up to 20 mm from the PG surface was clearly observed. The reduction area for Hα emission caused by beam extraction was widely distributed in the extraction region near the PG surface

    A strongly focusing He + ion beam source equipped with concave multi-aperture electrodes was developed for production of He - through a charge exchange cell. The beam was extracted at a voltage less than 20 kV from 301 apertures distributed in an area of 100 mm , and focused at 750 mm distance. The beam current and the beam size of 2 A and 20 mm in diameter, respectively, were achieved with an arc power less than 10 kW. The optimum perveance was obtained at 0.02 AkV 1.5 at the beam energy less than 20 keV which is suitable for the conversion to He - in an alkali vapor cell
