Studies of Gyrotron Efficiency Enhancement and Cherenkov Broadband Amplification.

Abstract

The non-linear theory was developed for the efficiency enhancement of the electron cyclotron maser, by tapering the external magnetic field. The experimental design aspects have been considered for the effects of tapered magnetic fields on the gyrotron efficiency. An alternate configuration has been theoretically investigated, for the utilization of a cherenkov-type interaction for the generation of radiation by an electron beam in a dielectrically loaded waveguide.
