Tests and developments of a long-pulse high-power 170 GHz absorbing matched load

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Francesca Maria Poli, Francisco Sanchez, Ioannis Pagonakis

The future EC systems will consist of several gyrotron sources providing MW-level millimeter wave power at a frequency around or above 170 GHz. The development of matched loads is necessary to test the new sources, the components for the transmission lines ...

Modeling of parasitic oscillations in smooth-wall circular symmetric dielectric-loaded gyrotron beam ducts

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Jérémy Genoud

The self-consistent simulation of the electron beam interaction was performed in the presence of a lossy dielectric layer in the smooth-wall beam duct of a gyrotron oscillator. For this purpose, the linear and spectral code TWANGlinspec was extended. In th ...

Advanced linear models for gyro-backward wave instabilities in gyrotrons

Jérémy Genoud

Parasitic oscillations excitation is one of the main point hindering high-power gyrotron operation for fusion application. These instabilities, besides being dangerous for the gyrotron components, could possibly degrade the electron beam quality before it ...

Parasitic Oscillations in Smooth-Wall Circular Symmetric Gyrotron Beam Ducts

Stefano Alberti, Minh Quang Tran, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Trach-Minh Tran, Jérémy Genoud

In order to study parasitic oscillation that may occur in a realistic beam duct upstream to the gyrotron cavity, the self-consistent linear and spectral code TWANGlinspec has been modified. The large inhomogeneities in the smooth-wall beam duct geometry or ...
