We offer to apply a shutter with a piezoelectric bimorph actuator as a modulator of radiation and particle fluxes. Such shutters may be useful to provide measurements in steady state regimes of tokamaks and stellarators because they allow one to avoid amplifier drifts and to simplify diagnostics calibration. Signal modulation makes it possible to apply the lock-in amplification technique, increasing the sensitivity and reducing the neutron doze collected by sensors. Experiments with pyroelectric sensors (LiTaO3) at 350 Hz modulation frequency have demonstrated the detection limit at 30 Hz equal to 15 μW/cm2, which is comparable to metallic bolometers.
