Electromagnetic Analysis and Cold Test of a Distributed Window for a High Power Gyrotron

چکیده
A novel distributed window for output radiation from a high power 110 GHz gyrotron is made of thin slats of sapphire interleaved and brazed to hollow metal vanes. We report the results of electromagnetic theory and cold test of this distributed window. We calculate the frequency dependence of the reflectivity of a Gaussian beam from the window. The theory indicates a significant frequency shift of the minimum reflectivity with temperature rise of the sapphire slab. This effect is of great importance for high power operation. In cold test, the distributed window reflectivity was measured while the window was heated. The cold test results are in good agreement with the theory.

Gyrotron Internal Mode Converter Reflector Shaping from Measured Field Intensity
We present the formulation and experimental results of a new approach to designing internal mode converter reflectors for high-power gyrotrons. The method employs a numerical phase retrieval algorithm that reconstructs the field in the mode converter from intensity measurements, thus accounting for the true field structure in shaping the beam-forming reflectors. An outline for designing a four-...

متن کاملCold testing of quasi-optical mode converters using a generator for non-rotating high-order gyrotron modes.
In this paper, we test the performance of a quasi-optical, internal-gyrotron mode converter. When cold testing mode converters, a rotating higher-order mode is commonly used. However, this requires a nontrivial design and precise alignment. We thus propose a new technique for testing gyrotron mode converters by using a simple, non-rotating, higher-order mode generator. We demonstrate the feasib...
