The analysis of the multimode behavior of the interaction cavity for 42-GHz gyrotron is presented here. The in-house developed codes single-mode cold cavity solver (SMCCS) and GYCAD and commercial particle-in-cell (PIC) simulator MAGIC are used in the design and analysis of 42-GHz gyrotron cavity. SMCCS is used for the calculation of cold cavity parameters such as $Q$ factor, resonant frequency, and the axial electric field profile, which are further used in the beam–wave interaction computation. The PIC code is used here for the parametric optimization and time-dependent-multimode beam–wave interaction simulations of the interaction cavity. The mode purity in terms of the electromagnetic power in individual modes is also calculated using the data generated in the beam–wave interaction simulations. The single-mode analysis of the cavity is also performed using the analytical code GYCAD based on the generalized nonlinear theory. The results obtained by the PIC simulator and GYCAD are discussed and compared here. The analysis of the electron beam misalignment, which may occur due to the radial shifting or tilting of the different components during the fabrication of the device, is also performed and the effects on the efficiency, mode competition, and mode stability are discussed in detail.

The coaxial interaction structure for a 0.24-THz, 2-MW gyrotron is designed, and its RF behavior is analyzed for the beam current of 60 A and the beam voltage of 90 kV. The searching of a suitable, very high-order TE mode, which satisfies all the technical conditions required to generate 2-MW RF power, is an important and critical step in the development of a coaxial-cavity (COCA) gyrotron. The detailed analysis of mode selection is described in this article. The geometry of the axially corrugated insert is optimized using an in-house code COCA. Based on the optimized geometry of the coaxial insert and the cylindrical cavity, the coupling coefficient and the start oscillation current are computed to analyze the mode competition for the operating mode TE42,28. The particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm-based simulation tool is used for the beam–wave interaction computation. Very fine meshing is implemented in the simulations, considering the high frequency and fine geometry of the coaxial insert. The electron beam parameters and the cavity magnetic field are optimized first aiming at the RF power ≥2 MW and frequency 240 GHz. The final results of the cavity design confirm 2.2-MW RF power and 239.975-GHz frequency at 9.74-T magnetic field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the effect of significant up-tapering of the resonator midsection on diffractive quality factor, resonant frequency, axial field profile shift, and axial separation between peaks of higher order axial modes (HOAMs) in a gyrotron resonator. Significant up-tapering of the resonator midsection causes the quality factor curves of HOAMs to come close to each other and eventually crossover. This allows HOAMs to have comparable or even higher quality factor value than the lower axial modes—a situation which is not possible in a conventional resonator. Due to this, the operating current for all axial modes can keep an order of magnitude. The up-tapering also shifts the axial field profile toward the output section of the resonator and leads to the loss of spatial symmetry that exists in the axial separation between the peaks of HOAMs in a conventional resonator. Computations have been performed for 0.2-, 0.5-, and 1-THz resonator using single-mode cold cavity solver code developed at CSIR-CEERI. Numerical validation with published results, for 0.2- and 0.5-THz conventional resonators, has also been carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A 42-GHz, 200-kW gyrotron was developed and tested for the Indian plasma fusion system. The gyrotron was designed for the TE0,3 operating mode. The configuration of the triode-type magnetron injection gun (MIG) with the linear RF output, undepressed collector, and face-cooled double disk window was adopted in this gyrotron because of the first development experience. The complete tube was developed and processed at Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute (CEERI), Pilani, India. The RF testing of the gyrotron was performed at the participating institute, Institute of Plasma Research (IPR), Gandhinagar, India. Due to some cooling issues in the collector region, the tube was tested by a resistive capacitor network-based power supply for a very short pulse in place of a long pulse, high voltage power supply. The tube was tested up to the beam voltage of 51 kV and a beam current of 12 A at the cavity magnetic field of 1.61 T for the short pulse of $500~\mu \text{s}$. The tube was inserted into the magnet system consisting of a main electromagnet, auxiliary gun coils, and collector magnets. The multi-hole and single hole couplers were used to measure the RF power in the TE0,3 mode and the overall power, respectively. The measured results were also compared with the simulated results and a close agreement of the results was found. The short pulse testing confirms the electrical design and the development approach for the 42-GHz gyrotron tube. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inverse magnetron injection gun (IMIG) provides several advantages over simple MIG especially in high-power, high-frequency gyrotron. Sub-millimeter (>230 GHz), high-power (≥1 MW) gyrotrons would be required in futuristic plasma fusion machines to fulfill the need of tens of megawatt RF power for electron cyclotron resonance heating. Here, in this paper, an IMIG is designed for 0.24-THz, 1-MW gyrotron. First, the tradeoff design equations and technical constraints are used to synthesize the electrodes geometry and electrical parameters of IMIG. This synthesized IMIG model is further simulated to finalize the design using electron trajectory code EGUN. Simultaneously, the magnet system including the auxiliary gun coils and superconducting magnets (SCM) is also designed and the obtained magnetic field profile is used in the IMIG simulations. In the case of high-power MIG, the suppression of the beam halo is a major design concern and analyzed critically in the present IMIG design. The shape of the modulating anode and main anode is optimized to make a beam halo shielding. This IMIG is designed for a very high-order mode (TE46,17) simple cylindrical cavity, which confines the range of the tolerance in the electron beam parameters. So, a detailed parametric and misalignment analysis is also performed with respect to the electron beam parameters, such as pitch factor, velocity spread, and guiding center radius spread. These parametric and misalignment analyses would be utter helpful in the fabrication, assembling and testing of the IMIG as well as gyrotron. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a novel approach for computation of high-order axial modes (HOAMs) in a conventional and uptapered gyrotron resonator. A code has been developed which computes the eigenfrequency, Q-factor and axial field profile of HOAMs in the absence of electron beam in the resonator. Cyclic coordinate search method has been used for the optimization of complex eigenfrequencies, which obviates the computation of gradients of radiation boundary conditions and, hence, reduces computational complexity. HOAMs have been computed for resonators operating at 10, 132, 203, and 424 GHz, and the results obtained have been found to be in good quantitative agreement with the experimental and numerical data available in the published literature. Broadband continuous frequency tuning bandwidth found for subterahertz resonators also agrees well with the published results. HOAMs computed for 1-THz gyrotron resonator designed at CSIR-CEERI have also been presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multimegawatt RF power in millimeter waveband (30–300 GHz) is required in the magnetically confined plasma fusion reactors. In this paper, the design of 170-GHz, 2-MW gyrotron with coaxial-cavity configuration is discussed. The mode selection and optimization of corrugation geometry of the coaxial insert are performed and discussed in detail. The beam-wave interaction computation and interaction cavity design are carried out using a particle-in-cell code. The beam-wave interaction analysis confirms 2.2-MW RF power at the 170.07-GHz frequency with more than 40% interaction efficiency. A 5.5-MW coaxial magnetron injection gun (C-MIG) is designed to launch the gyrating electron beam at the first radial maxima of the electric field peak of the selected operating mode in the interaction cavity. The magnetic system consisting of auxiliary coils and superconducting coils is also designed as per the requirement in MIG design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magnetron injection gun (MIG) is an important and critical part of any gyrotron. The overall performance of gyrotron deeply depends on the quality of gyrating electron beam. In this article, the design of triode type magnetron injection gun for 200 GHz frequency tunable gyrotron is discussed. It is planned to design and develop a 200 GHz gyrotron for 300 MHz DNP-NMR spectroscopy. The triode MIG is designed in such a way that it can be used in 200 GHz gyrotron of higher RF power for other applications also such as electron spin resonance, imaging. First, geometrical and electrical parameters of MIG are calculated using trade-off and scaling equations. Based on the calculated parameters, further, electron beam trajectory simulations are performed in EGUN. The geometry of electrodes are optimized through numerous simulation iterations to achieve the required beam parameters, such as, minimum spread in velocity and guiding center radius, an optimum value of velocity ratio (1.3–1.5), guiding center radius as per the maximum beam-wave coupling strength. The magnet system is designed to achieve the smooth Gaussian type of magnetic field profile with peak value of 7.35 T at cavity center. Further detail parametric analyses are performed which would be helpful in the frequency tuning and long-time stable operation of gyrotron device. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A review on the sub-THz/THz gyrotrons is performed in this manuscript. The present development status of gyrotrons can be divided into three streams for the sake of better understanding: 1. low frequency (<35 GHz), medium power (<100 kW), small size and easy to handle gyrotrons for industrial applications, 2. very high power (1 MW or more), medium frequency (100–200 GHz) gyrotrons for plasma fusion applications, 3. low power (few tens of watt to kW), high frequency (>200 GHz) gyrotrons for various innovative applications. In this manuscript, the third stream of gyrotron development is reviewed. In last few decades several innovative applications are searched in sub-THz/THz band where the gyrotrons could be used as an efficient source of RF radiation. The applications of sub-THz/THz gyrotrons including the futuristic scope of the device are also discussed in this article. Further, several criticalities arise in the design and development when the gyrotron operation shifts toward the high frequency band. Various such design and technological challenges are also discussed here. Finally the development status of sub-THz/THz gyrotrons as per the use in various scientific and technological applications is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
