Theoretical and experimental investigations of the cyclotron interaction effect on relativistic backward wave oscillator operation
(SPIE, 1993)
Microwave sources based on backward-wave oscillators (BWOs) driven by relativistic electron beams are capable of producing high power coherent radiation in the cm and mm wavelength region. When the axial magnetic field is ...
Linear analysis of a finite length plasma-filled backward wave oscillator
(American Institute of Physics, 1992-04)
Absolute instability in a plasma-filled backward wave oscillator with sinusoidally corrugated
slow wave structure driven by an intense relativistic electron beam has been analyzed
numerically. The maximum spatial growth ...
Studies of relativistic backward wave oscillators: Comparison bewteen theory and experiment
(SPIE, 1992)
Microwave sources based on backward-wave oscillators driven by relativistic electron beams are capable
of producing high power coherent radiation in the cm and mm wavelength regime. Although there have
been a number of ...
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 ...
Millimeter wave free electron laser amplifiers: Experiments and designs
(1991-08)
Free electron laser amplifiers are investigated as sources of high average-power (1 MW) millimeter to submillimeter wave radiation (200-600 GHz) for application to electron cyclotron resonance heating of magnetically ...
Relativistic backward wave oscillators: Theory and experiment
(IEEE, 1991)
Microwave sources based on backward-wave oscillators
with relativistic electron beams are capable of producing
high power coherent radiation in the cm and mm wavelength
regime. Although there have been a number of ...
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 development of a millimeter wave free electron laser
(SPIE, 1990-12)
A 1 MW (cw), millimeter wave FEL (X, « 0.5 mm) is currently under development with an application for heating
fusion plasmas. Two salient features of the FEL are the use of a short-period wiggler £w < 10 mm) electromagnet
and ...
Novel method for determining the elctromagnetic dispersion relation of periodic slow wave structures
(©1990 American Institute of Physics, 1990-09-24)
A novel method for calculating the dispersion relation of electromagnetic modes in an arbitrary periodic slow wave structure is reported. In this method it is sufficient to know the frequencies corresponding to three special ...
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 ...
