First- and second-harmonic radiations from a near-millimeter-wave gyromonotron

First- and second-harmonic radiations in frequency regions centered around 120 and 240 GHz, respectively, have been observed from a gyromonotron employing magnetic fields between 34 and 54 kG and a magnetron injection gun preducing a 30-kV, 1- to 2-A electron beam. Extensive redesign of the cavity, electron beam tunnel holders, and vacuum envelope resulted in greatly improved tube performance over that obtained previously. Nine first-harmonic modes and three second-harmonic modes were identified with specific TE cavity modes. These identifications were based on agreement between the measured frequency of a radiation and the calculated resonant frequency of a TE mode, and one or both of the following: (a) the agreement between the magnetic field at which the radiation occurred and that predicted by linear theory calculations of threshold current versus magnetic field for that mode; and (b) the similarity between the far-field antenna pattern measured with calibrated, waveguide-mounted detectors and that predicted for that mode. Output power was measured with a Scientech 362 Calorimeter and also estimated by integrating the far-field antenna patterns measured with the calibrated detectors. The power ranged from a fraction of a watt to 200 W for second-harmonic modes, and from tens of watts to 2 kW for first-harmonic modes.

Analysis of two stacked cylindrical dielectric resonators in a TE₁₀₂ microwave cavity for magnetic resonance spectroscopy

The frequency, field distributions and filling factors of a DR/TE??? probe, consisting of two cylindrical dielectric resonators (DR1 and DR2) in a rectangular TE??? cavity, are simulated and analyzed by finite element methods. The TE(+++) mode formed by the in-phase coupling of the TE??(δ)(DR1), TE??(δ)(DR2) and TE??? basic modes, is the most appropriate mode for X-band EPR experiments. The corresponding simulated B(+++) fields of the TE(+++) mode have significant amplitudes at DR1, DR2 and the cavity's iris resulting in efficient coupling between the DR/TE??? probe and the microwave bridge. At the experimental configuration, B(+++) in the vicinity of DR2 is much larger than that around DR1 indicating that DR1 mainly acts as a frequency tuner. In contrast to a simple microwave shield, the resonant cavity is an essential component of the probe that affects its frequency. The two dielectric resonators are always coupled and this is enhanced by the cavity. When DR1 and DR2 are close to the cavity walls, the TE(+++) frequency and B(+++) distribution are very similar to that of the empty TE??? cavity. When all the experimental details are taken into account, the agreement between the experimental and simulated TE(+++) frequencies is excellent. This confirms that the resonating mode of the spectrometer's DR/TE??? probe is the TE(+++) mode. Additional proof is obtained from B?(x), which is the calculated maximum x component of B(+++). It is predominantly due to DR2 and is approximately 4.4 G. The B?(x) maximum value of the DR/TE??? probe is found to be slightly larger than that for a single resonator in a cavity because DR1 further concentrates the cavity's magnetic field along its x axis. Even though DR1 slightly enhances the performance of the DR/TE??? probe its main benefit is to act as a frequency tuner. A waveguide iris can be used to over-couple the DR/TE??? probe and lower its Q to ≈150. Under these conditions, the probe has a short dead time and a large bandwidth. The DR/TE??? probe's calculated conversion factor is approximately three times that of a regular cavity making it a good candidate for pulsed EPR experiments.

Modes and Fields of Two Stacked Dielectric Resonators in a Cavity of an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Probe

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) probe consisting of two dielectric resonators (DRs) and a cavity (CV) is ideal for EPR experiments where both signal enhancement and tuning capabilities are required. The coupling of two DRs, resonating in their \({\text{TE}}_{01\delta }\) mode and a CV resonating in its \({\text{TE}}_{011}\) mode, is studied using energy-coupled mode theory (ECMT). The frequencies and eigenvectors of the three coupled modes are analytically derived. As predicted numerically, ECMT confirms that the \({\text{TE}}^{ + + - }\) and \({\text{TE}}^{ + - - }\) modes are indeed found to be degenerate at a specific distance between the two DRs \(d_{12}\). Additionally, the condition at which degeneracy occurs is specified. For a considerable range, the calculated frequency of the \({\text{TE}}^{ + + + }\) mode changes linearly with respect to \(d_{12}\). The \({\text{TE}}^{ + + + }\) mode showed a 500 MHz frequency change over a distance of 2 cm, when the resonance frequency is around 9.7 GHz. This enables the experimentalist to linearly tune the probe over this large frequency range. Finally the asymmetric configuration, where one of the resonators (DR2) is kept at the cavity center and the other one is allowed to move along the cavity axis, is studied. It is estimated that the frequency changes by 600 MHz over a distance of 1.5 cm. A formula for the magnitude of the magnetic field along the cavity axis, where the EPR samples are usually placed, is developed. This is crucial in determining the magnetic field in the vicinity of the sample and the probe’s filling factor.     

Tunability of temperature-dependent absorption in a graphene-based hybrid nanostructure cavity

Enhanced absorption is obtained in a hybrid nanostructure composed of graphene and one-dimensional photonic crystal as a cavity in the visible wavelength range thanks to the localized electric field around the defect layers. The temperature-induced wavelength shift is revealed in the absorption spectra in which the peak wavelength is red-shifted by increasing the temperature. This temperature dependence comes from the thermal expansion and thermo-optical effects in the constituent layers of the structure. Moreover, the absorption peaks can be adjusted by varying the incident angle. The results show that absorption is sensitive to TE/TM polarization and its peak values for the TE mode are higher than the TM case. Also, the peak wavelength is blue-shifted by increasing the incident angle for both polarizations. Finally, the possibility of tuning the absorption using the electro-optical response of graphene sheets is discussed in detail. We believe our study may be beneficial for designing tunable graphene-based temperature-sensitive absorbers.     

Characteristics of surface waves in anisotropic left-handed materials

We report the coexistence of TE and TM surface modes in certain same frequency domain at the interface between one isotropic regular medium and another biaxially anistotropic left-handed medium. The conditions for the existence of TE and TM polarized surface waves in biaxially anisotropic left-handed materials are identified, respectively. The Poynting vector and the energy density associated with surface modes are calculated. Depending on the system parameters, either TE or TM surface modes can have the time averaged Poynting vector directed to or opposite to the mode phase velocity. It is seen that the characteristics of surface waves in biaxially anisotropic left-handed media are significantly different from that in isotropic left-handed media.

TE11模式增强型高效率同轴虚阴极振荡器

在阴阳极严格同轴的条件下,理论分析表明同轴虚阴极振荡器中TE11模式与TM01模式与径向入射电子束的谐振耦合具有近似的作用效率。3维PIC数值模拟结果显示,即使在圆对称结构下,输出波导中非角向均匀模式在输出功率中也占有较大成分。因此,同轴虚阴极振荡器中TE11模式与电子束之间的谐振作用对器件效率的影响不可忽略。通过引入结构的不对称性以及TE11模式反射器可以抑制电子束与TM01模式之间的谐振作用,从而起到抑制同轴虚阴极振荡器系统中模式竞争的作用,因此可以提高电子束到微波的功率转换效率。实验结果表明,采用阴阳极非均匀对称结构的TE11模式增强型同轴虚阴极振荡器可以大幅度提高效率,在优化参数条件下获得功率转换效率约7％,输出功率大于1.0 GW的实验结果,该功率约为近似严格同轴结构的2.5倍。该研究结果可以为高效率同轴虚阴极振荡器装置设计与实验结果分析提供基本理论依据以及参数确定基础。     

介质层厚度无序对Bragg微腔模式的影响

采用本征模展开法(EME)结合完全匹配层（PML）边界条件,研究了由TiO2和SiO2复合膜结构组成的平面光子晶体Bragg微腔的模式特性,分析了介质厚度无序对微腔模式的调制以及入射角对局域长度的影响.结果表明,若光束正入射,带边局域长度要大于禁带局域长度,随着无序度的增加光子通带的透过率逐渐降低,而禁带的透过率逐渐上升.当无序度较小时,局域长度随随机度的变化在带边和禁带内表现出相反的规律.当无序度较大时,局域长度不仅和随机度、带隙有关,还受到材料的影响;若光束斜入射,TE模的局域长度要远小于TM模对应的值,且其最小值向短波方向移动。此外,入射角和膜层数的变化都会导致局域长度的起伏.     

The coexistence of TE-TM surface waves in uniaxially anisotropic left-handed materials

We investigate theoretically the characteristics of surface waves in uniaxially anisotropic left-handed materials. The constraints for the existence of TE and TM polarized surface waves in uniaxially anisotropic left-handed materials are identified. We discuss mainly whether TE and TM polarized surface modes may coexist in the same frequency domain at the interface between one isotropic regular medium and another uniaxially anisotropic left-handed medium. It is shown that the answer to the coexistence of TE and TM surface modes is really positive. The Poynting vector and the density of energy associated with surface modes are calculated. Depending on the system parameters either TE or TM surface modes has the time averaged Poynting vector directed opposite or same to the mode phase velocity. In the presence of anisotropy, negative refraction does not need to be left-handed. We show that the characteristics of surface waves in uniaxially anisotropic left-handed media are significantly different from that in isotropic left-handed media.     

The bidirectional mode expansion method for two-dimensional waveguides: the TM case

The mode expansion propagation method is a modelling technique for a large variety of waveguide components. Until now only the case with TE modes has been reported; we give details on the mode expansion propagation method for TM modes. Instead of one type of overlap integral in the TE case, a TM analysis requires two kinds of overlap integrals. The inclusion of radiation modes in this method is discussed. The modifications in the algorithm to include waveguides with gain or loss structures are also considered.As an example, the method was used for analysing a grating-assisted codirectional coupler. In particular, the radiation loss is calculated and compared with calculations when TE modes, instead of TM modes, propagate through the codirectional coupler. The radiation losses are found to be much higher for TM modes.     

Optimized overmoded TE01-to-TM11 mode converters for high-power millimeter wave applications at 70 and 140 GHz

Mode coupling in bent, oversized, smooth-wall circular waveguides was studied by means of numerical integration of coupled-mode differential equations in order to optimize high-power TE01-to-TM11 mode transducers at 70 GHz and 140 GHz. Such mode transformers are used in the mode conversion sequence TEOn to TE01 to TM11 to HE11 for generating the almost perfectly linearly polarized Gaussian-like HE11 mode from circular electric TEOn gyrotron modes. This quasi-optical HE11 hybrid mode is in many respects ideal for electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) of magnetically confined plasmas in thermonuclear fusion research and for other technical applications. Curvature and ellipticity coupling as well as ohmic attenuation of 6 coupled modes (TE01, TM11, TE11, TE12, TE21, TM21) are included in the coupling matrices. Integral expressions were used for deriving the coupling coefficients for arbitrary modes in bent, smooth-wall waveguide. Lowest level of unwanted spurious modes together with highest transmission efficiency (shortest arc length) is achieved with sinusoidal curvature distribution instaed of constant curvature. The calculated conversion efficiencies of 98.0% at 70 GHz and 95.2% at 140 GHz (interior waveguide diameter D=27.8 mm for 200 kW transmission lines) are in excellent agreement with the measured values of (97.6±0.4)% and (95±1)%, respectively.
