STUDY OF MICROWAVE GENERATION UTILIZING DOUBLESTREAM INSTABILITIES IN ANISOTROPIC MEDIA.

Abstract

Difficulties were encountered in obtaining a fast-response infrared detector for two-stream instabilities studies with pyrolytic graphite. A zinc-doped germanium detector appears to be the best detector available in the present state-ofthe-art and even with this detector the long wavelength cutoff is 40 microns, which falls short of the desired range of 5 to 75 microns. Experimental work was concerned principally with collective-phenomena instabilities in the solidstate plasma in n-type indium antimonide (InSb) at 77 K. Oscillations were measured from 33 to 12,000 Mc at power levels ranging from 0 down to -70 dbm. (Author)
