Theory of the Quasi-Optical Electron Cyclotron Maser.

Abstract

In this work, a promising new electron cyclotron wear oscillator is proposed and analyzed. The configuration utilizes an open resonator cavity containing a gyrating electron beam which translates along an external magnetic field. The magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the open resonator. Because the wave-particle interaction volume is extremely large, the total input electron beam power can be high and the power density low.
