Exploration of New Methods to Produce Efficient Sources of Coherent Near Millimeter Wave Radiation.

Abstract

A summary is presented of a feasibility study for a new concept photon recycling which was proposed as a new means of generating near millimeter wave radiation using gas dynamic cooling. A general theoretical analysis of this concept is presented which shows that small partition fractions and low temperatures lead to an unwieldly geometry for the nozzle design. Originator-supplied keywords include: Infrared, Near Millimeter Waves, Lasers, and Photon Recyclers.
