射频远红外波导自由电子激光器的新特性

 提出了用波导本征模展开的方法计算射频调制的短脉冲电子束在矩形波导中的自发辐射。模展开系数决定了辐射进入TE_0n模的功率。将短脉冲理想化为时间上的d函数,可以发现当辐射频率正好等于用来调制电子束的射频的整数倍时,辐射模式表现为“纯”的波导本征模,此时辐射功率最强。用此方法估算了设计中的上海远红外波导自由电子激光器的辐射功率。

X-band dielectric Cerenkov maser amplifier experiment

An X-band dielectric Cerenkov maser amplifier experiment is reported. The amplifier system consisted of a solid, thermionically generated electron beam propagating through a cylindrical waveguide partially filled with an annular, dielectric liner. The input signal was provided by a tunable (9-10.3 GHz) magnetron with power up to 10 kW. Electron beam voltages and currents of up to 250 kV and 100 A could be generated for 1 μs pulse durations. The system was configured to operate in the TM₀₁ mode of the dielectric-lined waveguide. In this experiment the gain of the system with respect to the length of the dielectric liner was studied at a fixed input frequency of 10.3 GHz. At electron beam parameters of 160 kV and 60 A, a power gain of 24 dB over 56 cm of interaction length was measured for an input power of 4.5 kW, corresponding to a maximum RF amplified power of 1.15 MW and 12% efficiency     

High-power, single-beam plasma wave tube

Short-pulse, ultra-broadband sources of RF radiation are needed for a variety of new applications. To meet this demand, we have developed and optimized a single-beam Plasma Wave Tube (PWT), The PWT is a unique microwave/millimeter-wave source which utilizes the interaction between beamexcited electron plasma waves to generate kilowatt-power (~10 kW) radiation at microwave to millimeter-wave frequencies with a beam-to-radiation conversion efficiency of ⩾0.4%. In a single-beam PWT, an electron beam (⩽40 kV, ⩾200 A, 5-to-20-μs pulse width) is injected into a gas-filled (e,g., hydrogen) cylindrical waveguide. The beam first ionizes the gas to generate a plasma, and then nonlinearly interacts with the plasma to generate radiation from 6-to-60 GHz. Slew rates of up to 7 GHz/μs have been measured during a single beam pulse. The radiation has a wide instantaneous bandwidth, typically 10 GHz or wider. Electron-beam transport through the waveguide is accomplished with no externally applied magnetic fields because the beam space charge is cancelled by the background plasma     

High-Power Modulated Intense Relativistic Electron Sources with Applications to RF Generation and Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion

Recent advances in the physics and technology of the modulated intense relativistic electron beams (IREB's) are reviewed in this paper. Bunched dense electron beams can be used to construct high-power RF sources, which may critically affect future progress in fusion technology. In this paper a system is described in which electrical energy can be converted from a single pulse of relatively long duration into a series of subpulses of short duration (nanosecond and subnanosecond) and of high power (~1010 W). This electrical system consists of an IREB propagating through passive structures. The mutual interaction between the electron beam and one passive structure modifies the IREB so that power compression and beam modulation occur. When the modified IREB interacts with the next passive structure, the kinetic energy of the electrons is converted into electrical energy or RF energy. The beam current modulation depends on the injected IREB and the structure parameters. A 100-percent modulation of the current has been achieved. A single-beam source may be used for exciting radiation in a frequency range of 60 MHz to 10 GHz. In the frequency range of 60-750 MHz a modulated beam with power ~1010 W has already been achieved. IREB modulation at a frequency of ~3 GHz was performed and RF energy was extracted from the bunched beam with power output of 5 × 108 W.     

A high power microwave vircator with an enhanced efficiency

A radially extracted vircator (virtual-cathode oscillator) with two identical opposite output ports is presented. The microwave modes propagating inside the WR650 output rectangular waveguide are determined by the calibrated E-probes lined up in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the WR650 waveguide. Velvet-covered cathodes are used to emit electrons. Several diameters of velvet are chosen to see how the emitting area effects microwave generation. Evidence of virtual cathode formation, onset of electron reflexing, and simultaneous microwave emission are discussed. This vircator is found to have the capability of generating a maximum 1.4 GW microwave pulse with the dominant frequency at 8.2 GHz. The radiation pattern is dominated by the TE₁₀ mode and the instantaneous efficiency for producing this microwave pulse is around 6±0.8%. Simple E-probes are applied to pick up the microwave signals inside the WR650 output rectangular waveguide     

Broadband emission from a relativistic electron bunch in a semi-infinite waveguide

A study is made of the excitation of a transition radiation pulse during the injection of a charged particle bunch through the end metal wall into a semi-infinite cylindrical waveguide. Exact analytic expressions for the fields of a thin ring-shaped bunch are obtained in terms of the Lommel functions of two variables. The energy efficiency, power, and spectrum of radiation emitted from a finite-size charged bunch in a vacuum waveguide are calculated numerically with allowance for the multimode nature of the excited field. It is shown that, under certain conditions, the bunch can generate a short, high-intensity electromagnetic pulse with a broad frequency spectrum. The effect of various parameters of the charged bunch-waveguide system (such as the bunch current, bunch duration, and waveguide radius) on the generation efficiency of a transition radiation pulse is investigated.     

Super-reltron theory and experiments

A highly efficient, high-power microwave tube called super-reltron is reported. The authors have achieved operation at >400 MW with ~50% efficiency at 1 GHz, and 250 MW with 40% efficiency at 3 GHz. The RF pulse durations are typically a few hundred nanoseconds. These compact lightweight tubes do not require an external magnetic field. The RF output coupling is straightforward and delivers the power directly via the fundamental TE₁₀ wave in a rectangular waveguide without a mode converter. The key features of the tube include (i) generation of a well-modulated electron beam by periodic virtual cathode formation, (ii) postacceleration of the modulated beam to reduce the relative electron energy spread, and (iii) a multicavity output section that efficiently extracts power without RF breakdown. Various theoretical aspects of the device are discussed and the experimental results are summarized
