Gyrotron cavities operating on this principle are well matched to low current, moderate energy, rfaccelerated electron beams. Efficiencies up to 15% have been measured for moderate harmonic interactions, multi-kW power levels have been attained at the eleventh harmonic of the cyclotron frequency, and 65 GHz waves have been produced. The concept allows the magnetic field of the gyrotron to be reduced by an order of magnitude, thereby making a submillimeter-wave gyrotron feasible. However, mode competition problems must be considered for high-harmonic, sub-millimeter wave operation, We have been successful in suppressing mode competition by destroying unwanted modes.","PeriodicalId":314918,"journal":{"name":"1983 Eighth International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves","volume":"209 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116227540","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}

The structure to be analyzed is shown in Fig. 1. It consists of layers of differing dielectrics, some of which may be doped or undoped GaAs materials. It is symmetric about the center plane and is infinite and uniform in the direction transverse to the normal ○ and the direction of propagation z. In the center is a thin layer of single crystal GaAs material which exhibits optical nonlinearity. The nonlinearity consists of the contributions from both the valence electrons of the intrinsic GaAs material and the conduction electrons introduced into the medium by external means. Two optical waves propagating inside the center layer induce, as a result of optical mixing, a distribution of electric dipoles which radiate EM waves at the sum, difference or harmonic frequencies of the input waves. We are particularly interested in the generation of waves at the difference frequency which, for two CO2 laser inputs, ranges from ∼150–4000 GHz. The dispersion characteristic and field distribution of the excited waves are determined by the waveguiding property of the whole structure at that frequency.","PeriodicalId":314918,"journal":{"name":"1983 Eighth International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127030473","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}
