Homodyne interferometry using a motorized phase rotator for calibration of sine–cosine detection of the phase shift of a 70 GHz probe beam through a plasma has been developed. Four interferometers based on this interferometry have been installed on the low aspect ratio torus experiment (LATE) device with four horizontal probe beams on the mid-plane, which has measured the line-integrated electron densities with a time resolution of 10 μs and a resolution of line-integrated density of 5 × 1015 m−2.
