Coherent terahertz high-harmonic radiation has been obtained in a gyrotron with an axis-encircling electron beam. An electron-optical system with a cusp gun and a following drift section of adiabatic magnetic compression with an area factor of 3000 provides the formation of an 80-keV/0.7-A beam of gyrating electrons in a wide range of voltages and magnetic fields. Stable single-mode generation with a power of 0.3-1.8 kW in microsecond pulses is detected at four frequencies in the range 0.55-1.00 THz at resonant magnetic fields 10.5-14 T.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
