连续调谐太赫兹回旋管非稳定振荡状态研究

太赫兹回旋管可实现高功率输出,并具有一定的频率调谐范围,是核磁共振波谱系统理想的高功率太赫兹辐射源。设计了263 GHz,TE_5,2基波连续调谐回旋管,通过磁场调节实现频率调谐范围为1.39 GHz,利用时域多模多频自洽非线性理论对设计的连续调谐回旋管非稳定振荡状态进行了研究。结果表明,在低次纵向谐波模式工作磁场范围内,当工作电流大于起振电流时,连续调谐回旋管先进入稳定状态,高次纵向谐波模式被抑制,工作模式TE_5,2的输出功率随时间不变;当电流增大,纵向谐波模式间的竞争引起回旋管由稳定状态进入到非稳定振荡状态,工作模式TE_5,2的输出功率随时间呈振荡变化且互作用效率大大降低;随着电流的进一步增大,回旋管又回到与低电流不同的稳定状态,互作用效率进一步降低。同时发现非稳定振荡状态的起始电流随着磁场增加而增大。本研究对需工作于稳定状态的面向DNP-NMR应用的连续调谐太赫兹回旋管的研制具有一定指导意义。

Improvement on the wave absorbing property of a lossy frequency selective surface absorber using a magnetic substrate

An equivalent-circuit model is used to analyse the improvement of the wave absorbing performance of the lossy frequency selective surface(FSS) absorber by using a magnetic substrate,showing that it is possible to widen the wave absorbing bandwidth.Three pieces of magnetic substrates are prepared.According to the complex permittivity and permeability,the reflectivity of the corresponding absorber is calculated by the finite difference time-domain(FDTD) method,and the bandwidth of the reflectivity below 10 dB is optimized by genetic algorithm.The calculated results indicate that the wave absorbing performance is significantly improved by increasing the complex permeability of the substrate;the reflectivity bandwidth below 10 dB of the single layer FSS absorber can reach 3.6-18 GHz with a thickness of 5 mm,which is wider than that with a dielectric substrate.The density of the FSS absorber is only 0.92 g/cm 3.Additionally,the absorption band can be further widened by inserting a second lossy FSS.Finally,a double layer lossy FSS absorber with a magnetic substrate is fabricated based on the design result.The experimental result is consistent with the design one.     

Influence of Reflections of the Output Port on Beam-wave Interaction in Gyrotron Traveling Wave Amplifier

Based on the nonlinear self-consistent theory of gyrotron traveling wave amplifier (gyro-TWA), the influence of the reflections of the output port with the taper on the beam-wave interaction in the gyro-TWA is studied. The simulation results show that the reflections have great effects on the TE₀₁ mode gyro-TWA operating at the fundamental. The influence of the taper angle and the interaction length on the beam-wave interaction and the power profile is discussed and the corresponding physical mechanism is analyzed. The saturated output power keeps same approximately with the increase of the taper angle in the presence of reflection while the saturated gain decreases obviously.     

Four-layer metal-clad thin film optical waveguides

An investigation of the low order modes supported by an asymmetrical four-layered metal-clad optical waveguide is presented showing the attenuation characteristics and the field profiles. The attenuation and phase constants are examined as functions of both the thickness and refractive index of the buffer layer as well as the mode order. The results for small and large buffer layer thicknesses are discussed in terms of the modes supported by simpler asymmetrical three-layered metal-clad and dielectric-clad waveguides respectively. It is shown that the coupling of the TM polarized modes to the lossy surface plasma wave depends upon the buffer layer thickness, the refractive indices of the buffer layer and dielectric cladding and the mode order. This coupling is very dependent upon the mode order with the TM₀ mode exhibiting far weaker coupling than the higher order TM modes. Methods of controlling the amount of coupling and hence the attenuation of the TM modes are discussed.This work was performed while the author was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, 4067.     

Gyrotron travelling wave amplifier: II. Effects of velocity spread and wall resistivity

The small signal gain and bandwidth of the gyrotron travelling-wave amplifier (gyro-TWA) operating at the fundamental cyclotron harmonic are examined. The analytical and numerical studies focus on the effects of velocity spread in the electron beam and of a distributed wall resistivity in the waveguide. It is found that wall resistivity reduces the forward gain of the amplifier only by an amount approximately equal to 1/3 of the corresponding cold tube loss. Significant increase in bandwidth may result, under certain conditions, from the presence of wall resistivity. A moderate amount (5–10%) of velocity spread does not reduce the peak gain significantly in general, but may reduce the bandwidth by an amount depending on the applied magnetic field. Based on considerations of such factors as power, stability, gain, bandwidth, and efficiency, operating parameters for the gyro-TWA are suggested.     

Near-field optical properties of wide bandwidth metal multi-layer dielectric gratings for pulse compressor

Metal multi-layer dielectric gratings (MMDG) for pulse compressors in high-energy laser systems should provide broad bandwidth as well as high laser-induced damage thresholds. The non-uniform optical near-field distribution of MMDG is an important factor that limits damage resistant capabilities. MMDG for pulse compressors operating at 800 nm with a corrugated SiO₂ layer are designed by using a genetic algorithm and the Fourier mode method. The diffraction efficiency, bandwidth, and near-field distribution of the MMDG are theoretically investigated. For the single dielectric match layer grating, the bandwidth is 140 nm, if the thickness and refractive index of the match layer are changed, the maximum electric field in the grating ridge, match layer, and metal layer of the grating increases with the decrease in grating diffraction efficiency. For the multi-dielectric match layer grating, the bandwidth and the maximum electric field in the metal layer decrease with the increase in high- and low-index material pairs, and the maximum electric field in the grating ridge and match layer initially decreases and then increases. Over a wide wavelength range, the maximum electric field in the grating ridge, match layer, and metal layer is minimal near the central wavelength. Moreover, MMDG should be used at larger incident angles while keeping enough bandwidth to reduce the electric field in the grating.
