Images of the visible light emission from the inner wall region of the TFTR tokamak [M. G. Belletal., inPlasmaPhysicsandControlledNuclearFusionResearch1988, Proceedings of the 12th International Conference, Nice, France (IAEA, Vienna, in press)] have been made using a rapidly gated, intensified TV camera. Strong ‘‘filamentation’’ of the neutral deuterium D&agr;light is observed when the camera gating time is <100 &mgr;sec during neutral‐beam‐heated discharges. These turbulent filaments vary in position randomly versus time and have a poloidal wavelength of ≊3–5 cm, which is much shorter than their parallel wavelength of ≊100 cm. A second and new type of edge fluctuation phenomenon, which is called a ‘‘merfe,’’ is also described. Merfes are a regular poloidal pattern of toroidally symmetric, small‐scale marfes that move away from the inner midplane during the current decay after neutral beam injection. Some tentative interpretations of these two phenomena are presented.
