GENERALIZED TIME-SPACE PERIODIC MODULATION IN CYCLOTRON PARAMETRIC AMPLIFIERS.
Abstract
It is proposed to investigate the coupling of electron beam modes under the influence of parametric pumping fields. The effects of the complete set of time-space harmonics (idlers) are to be included in this study, as well as additional coupling mechanisms created by pump harmonics. A particular condition, called the 'synchronous harmonic condition', is predicted and proposed for theoretical and experimental study. None of the timespace harmonics may be neglected in this condition created by a traveling wave-quadrupole pumping field. This condition, fully explored, could be the basis for a new device: a 'synchronous (amplifying) harmonic generator'. A comprehensive study of parametric wave coupling in cyclotron devices is proposed with pump conditions ranging from D. C. (spatial periodicities only) to the adler type pump (time periodicity only) and various pump field configurations considered for the quantitative effects on amplification efficiency and extraneous coupling.
