contents A non-linear system governed by multi-spatial and multi-temporal physics scales cannot be fully understood with a single diagnostic, as each provides only a partial view, leading to information loss. Combining multiple diagnostics may also result in incomplete projections of the system's physics. By identifying hidden inter-correlations between diagnostics, we can leverage mutual support to fill in these gaps, but uncovering such correlations analytically is too complex. We introduce a machine learning methodology to address this issue. Unlike traditional methods, our multimodal approach does not rely on the target diagnostic's direct measurements to generate its super-resolution version. Instead, it uses other diagnostics to produce super-resolution data, capturing detailed structural evolution and responses to perturbations previously unobservable. This not only enhances the resolution of a diagnostic for deeper insights but also reconstructs the target diagnostic, providing a valuable tool to mitigate diagnostic failure. This methodology addresses a key challenge in fusion plasmas: the Edge Localized Mode (ELM), a plasma instability that can cause significant erosion of plasma-facing materials. A method to stabilize ELM is using resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) to trigger magnetic islands. However, limited spatial and temporal resolution restricts analysis of these islands due to their small size, rapid dynamics, and complex plasma interactions. With super-resolution diagnostics, we can experimentally verify theoretical models of magnetic islands for the first time, providing insights into their role in ELM stabilization. This advancement supports the development of effective ELM suppression strategies for future fusion reactors like ITER and has broader applications, potentially revolutionizing diagnostics in fields such as astronomy, astrophysics, and medical imaging.
