High power electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is widely used in the current toroidal devices for auxiliary electron heating. The O1-mode ECRH technique is also considered for the local electron heating providing the neoclassical tearing mode control in ITER. Until very recently the propagation and absorption of ordinary microwaves were believed to be well-described by the linear...

Spherical tokamaks are often operated in a highly overdense regime, which means that their core is unavailable to ECRH at several of the lowest harmonics. However, a mode coupling scheme known as O-X-B[1] may enable the use of high power microwaves for heating and current drive in such plasmas. The O-X-B scheme couples electromagnetic waves from e.g. a gyrotron to electrostatic waves known as...
