Abstract
An extraordinary incident wave, propagating along the major radius through the ST tokamak plasma, is used to generate a second-harmonic wave inside the plasma. The detected harmonic-power characteristic agrees well with that predicted by the theory for local harmonic generation in the upper hybrid layer. The detected harmonic wave is essentially extraordinary, but has a small ellipticity.Keywords
