Studies of continuous-wave submillimeter-wave gyrotrons for spectroscopy and diagnostics of various media

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We present the results of experimental studies of submillimeter-wave gyrotrons, which were obtained in the Research Center for Development of Far-Infrared Region of Fukui University (Japan). Distinctive features of the systems forming helical electron beams in submillimeter-wave gyrotrons are described. The results of the theoretical studies, which were aimed at excitation of higher harmonics in submillimeter-wave gyrotrons, reducing the operating voltage, and creating devices with smooth wideband tuning of the generation frequency, are presented. It is shown that modern gyrotrons are capable of ensuring continuous-wave generation at the frequencies from 200 to 400 GHz at a power level of up to hundreds of watts, and up to tens of kilowatts in the pulse-generation regime.
