Gyrotron oscillators have served as effective sources in this area for many years. Developments in using diamond for the output window have eliminated one of the obstacles to realizing high-power, long-pulse devices. At CPI, various programs are underway to deliver long-pulse or CW, high-power gyrotrons. In particular, we have completed the construction and test of an 84 GHz, 500 kW, 2-s-pulse gyrotron for Pohang University of Science and Technology. In addition to features that are similar to other high-power gyrotrons, like the internal converter, diode gun, and diamond window, the 84 GHz gyrotron also includes a single-stage depressed collector. In this paper, we summarize the basic design of the 84 GHz gyrotron and report on the experimental results of the 500 kW, long-pulse operation.","PeriodicalId":23431,"journal":{"name":"Twenty Seventh International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86958414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
