Development of powerful terahertz gyrotrons

Abstract

One of the most important areas of the present microwaves investigations is development of radiation sources in the sub-Terahertz and Terahertz frequency bands (f ≥ 0.3 THz). Gyrotrons are capable of producing high-power coherent electromagnetic radiation in the millimeter wavelength ranges (see, for example, [1,2]) and looks promising for submillimeter and terahertz bands.
