Operation of a Quasi-Optical Gyrotron with Variable Mirror Separation

Abstract

Results from a quasi-optical gyrotron experiment with a 20-28 cm mirror separation are presented showing operation from 95-130 GHz at powers up to 148 kW and output efficiencies up to 11.5%. The output coupling could be varied from 0.4-3% by changing the mirror separation and operating frequency. Efficiency optimization by variation of output coupling and by tapering the magnetic field has been demonstrated and regions of single-mode operation at powers up to 125 kW have been characterized. Keywords: Gyrotron.
