Abstract This paper reviews the contributions of image observations to extending the duration of Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF)-heated long-pulse discharges in the Large Helical Device (LHD). The plasma discharges were monitored using over 25 visible cameras, three fast-framing cameras, and …
