Description
Assembly is in progress on a 110 GHz, 1 MW gyrotron with HE11 mode output in corrugated waveguide. This is a significant improvement over conventional gyrotrons with Gaussian mode output. The gyrotron will connect directly to corrugated waveguide transmission lines without a requirement for a mirror optical unit. This results in higher mode purity and reduced RF loss, in addition to a major reduction is system cost and complexity. This presentation will describe the design an update the status of the program.
