PARIS-Tuesday 26 March 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bertin Technologies, a subsidiary of CNIM Group, has received a contract from ITER Organization for
the preliminary design of the “Density Interferometer Polarimeter”
(DIP), a complex optical diagnostic system that measures plasma density
during nuclear fusion reactions.
This
is a key component of the tokamak reactor’s future diagnostic
instruments. The purpose of the DIP will be to help control plasma by
measuring the density of the electrons in order to ensure its stability and obtain an optimal energy yield.
Optical
instrumentation design and manufacturing, such as the DIP technology,
are key areas of excellence at Bertin Technologies, the French leader of industrial innovation for this field. Collaborating with the ITER program since 2009,
through contracts with the ITER Organization at Cadarache, Fusion For
Energy in Barcelona and Princeton Physics Plasma Laboratory in the USA,
Bertin Technologies has developed itself in instrumentation designed to analyze fusion plasma,
contributing to the control and safety of experiments as well as
acquiring parametric data that will be used by physicians. Building on
its unique experience and expertise, Bertin’s objective for the
coming years is to take charge of other aspects of complete diagnostics
for ITER, from the design phase to the installation on site.
ABOUT BERTIN TECHNOLOGIES
BERTIN
TECHNOLOGIES, subsidiary of CNIM Group, relies on its long history of
innovation to develop, produce and market innovative systems and
equipment worldwide. Among its 700 employees, there are 2/3 engineers
and high-level managers. The company is active worldwide and its
turnover amounts to nearly 100 million euros in 2017.
Based on his experience in the Megajoule Laser program,
Bertin has positioned himself since 2009 on instrumentation intended to
analyze the fusion plasma to contribute to the conduct and safety of
ITER Organization's experiments, but also to acquire the parameters that
will be operated by physicians. With the acquisition in 2017 of Winlight,
a French company specializing in the design and manufacturing of
components and systems for high performance optics, Bertin strengthens
its presence in the field of Big Science (research reactors,
synchrotrons, telescopes) and for major defense and space programs, with
customers in Europe, the United States and Asia.
