Experimental Studies of a Continuous-Wave HF(DF) Confocal Unstable Resonator.
Abstract
A series of experiments were performed on a continuous-wave HF(DF) multiline edge-coupled confocal unstable resonator at The Aerospace Corporation MESA facility. Experimental techniques were developed to measure remotely (from a blockhouse) the output power, the near-field intensity distribution, the spatially resolved spectral content of the near field, and the far-field power distribution. A new technique in which a variable aperture calorimeter absorbing scraper (VACAS) was used for measuring the continuous-wave output power from an unstable resonator with variable-mode geometry and without the use of an output coupling mirror was developed.
