Abstract

A new version of a cyclotron-resonance maser is studied theoretically and experimentally. Here, a spatially periodic helical electron beam couples traveling (autoresonance) and quasi-cutoff (gyrotron) waves of the same frequency, interacting with them at different cyclotron harmonics. The theory and early experimental results show that this maser can effectively generate a traveling wave with low quasi-cutoff wave excitation losses using a very simple feedback system.
