Plasma influence on the dispersion properties of finite-length, corrugated waveguides
(The American Physical Society, 1996-03)
We present an experimental study of the electromagnetic properties of transverse magnetic modes in a
corrugated-wall cavity filled with a radially inhomogeneous plasma. The shifts of the .resonant frequencies of
a ...
Enhancement of overall efficiency in large-orbit gyrotrons
(Taylor and Francis, 1990)
Energy recovery from the spent beam in gyrotrons can enhance their overall
efficiency. A technique for converting the rotational motion in the spent beam of
a large-orbit gyrotron into axial motion, before leading it ...
A High-average power tapered FEL amplifier at submillimeter frequencies using sheet electron beams and short-period wigglers
(Elsevier, 1990-09-17)
A high-average-power FEL amplifier operating at submillimeter frequencies is under development
at the University of Maryland. Program goals are to produce a CW, ~ 1 MW,
FEL amplifier source at frequencies between 280 GHz ...
Non-adiabatic transition of beams in gyrotrons through various magnetic field profiles
(Taylor & Francis, 1991)
The achievement of efficiency enhancement in small-orbit gyrotrons by using
depressed collector techniques requires precisely configured magnetic field
profiles which present adiabatic as well as non-adiabatic transitions ...
Experimental and numerical results on a millimeter-wave free electron laser amplifier
(Elsveier - Nuclear instruments and methods in physics research, 1993-07)
Progress in studies of a millimeter-wave free electron laser amplifier based on a small period planar wiggler and a sheet electron beam is reported. Successful propagation of a 15 A sheet electron beam has been accomplished ...
From linearity towards chaos: Basic studies of relativistic backward-wave oscillators
(American Physical Society, 1992-09-14)
Recent experimental studies have revealed for the first time some basic features of pulsed. relativistic (300-600 keY) backward-wave oscillators such as starting current, axial mode locking, and multifrequency
operation. ...
High power operation of a wiggler-focused sheet beam free electron laser amplifier
(Elsevier, 1995)
The proof-of-principle millimeter-wave free electron laser amplifier at the University of Maryland has been operated at
an input power level of N 1 kW at a frequency of 86 GHz, following successful operation at smaller ...
New modes in a plasma with periodic boundaries: the origin of the dense spectrum
(The American Physical Society, 1991-10-28)
We analyze the new features of the low-frequency (£0 < £Op) modes of wave propagation in a plasma filled,
spatially periodic structure. The spectrum of these modes is drastically modified by the periodic
boundaries in a ...
Studies of ion acceleration in a one meter laser controlled collective accelerator
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1991)
The basic concept behind the Laser Controlled Beamfront
Experiment has been described in detail in previous
reports(1,2) In the experiment, control over the propagation
of a virtual cathode at the front of an intense ...
Periodic magnetic focusing of sheet electron beams
(American Institute of Physics, 1994-05)
Sheet electron beams focused by periodically cusped magnetic (PCM ) fields are stable against
low-frequency velocity-shear instabilities (such as the diocotron mode). This is in contrast to
the more familiar unstable ...
