A gradient method has been proposed as an effective procedure to reconstruct real parameters of tokamak plasma by means of multichannel polarimetric measurements. High efficiency of the suggested procedure is illustrated by numerical calculations performed for a given plasma model taking into account the poloidal component of magnetic field. Polarization state of electromagnetic wave traditionally is characterized by azimuthal – ψ and ellipticity – χ angles. Evolution of these parameters along the ray is described by the equations of angular variables technique (AVT) introduced in previous works of the present authors. Numerical simulations have approved that the gradient procedure provides acceptable accuracy of inversion already after several iterations.
