Moderately relativistic high-harmonic gyrotrons for millimeter/submillimeter wavelength band

Abstract

A large orbit gyrotron with a 300 keV, 30 A, 20 ns electron beam has provided selective generation with radiation power from 1.5 MW at fundamental (wavelength of 14 mm) to 100 kW at the fifth cyclotron harmonic (wavelength of 4 mm). The next experiment with a unique electron beam (250 keV, 18 A, 10 /spl mu/s, 0.6 mm in diameter) is in progress.
