State-of-the-Art Survey of Gyrotron Research: An ONRL Sponsored Workshop.

Abstract

Presented: a thorough review of the past history and the current work on the fast-wave amplifiers performed at Naval Research Laboratory (NRL); two current NRL research projects in the plasma physics division: first on highly relativistic gyrotrons, and then on the design and initial performance of cyclotron autoresonance masers. An overview of applications of gyrotrons in the area of electron cyclotron resonance plasma heating for fusion experiments; a status report on the latest design results of a 150 GHz overmoded gyrotron development project at the German Nuclear Research Institute in Karlsruhe whose purpose is to study higher modes in circular gyrotrons with increasing output power; current and planned gyrotron development studies within the framework of the Fusion Programme of the Commission of the European Communities; and work on high peak power gyroklystron amplifiers.
