An Unmagnetized Plasma-Loaded Relativistic Backward-Wave Oscillator: Experiment and Simulation

Reported in this paper are the results of an experiment to produce high-power microwave radiation from a gas-filled backward wave oscillator (BWO) driven by a relativistic electron beam without external guiding magnetic field. A peak power for background gas pressure at 5.25 mTorr has been observed as argon pressure from 0.75 mTorr to 15 mTorr. Operating frequency of the oscillator has been measured at 9.6 ± 0.4 GHz. The results of PIC simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results. A reasonable explanation is given for experimental results by PIC simulation.     

准两腔振荡器的理论和实验研究

根据两腔振荡器和返波管的特点提出了准两腔振荡器，其作用机理是两腔振荡器的机理，结构类似返波管.这种结构主要由调制腔组和换能腔组两部分组成，调制腔组实现电子束速度调制，调制后的电子束在通过一个微波场较弱的区间时实现电子束群聚，然后在换能腔组实现电子能量到微波能量的转化，并通过输出结构输出；同时，调制腔组和换能腔组之间存在微波耦合，换能腔组中的一部分微波能量可以耦合到调制腔组，形成一个正反馈回路，在一定条件下实现微波振荡.根据此理论，根据Sinus-700加速器的参数(800 kV，10 kA)设计了一个X波段的高功率微波器件，2.5维Particle in Cell (PIC)程序模拟的效率为28%，微波频率为9.42GHz，微波输出功率为2.25GW，实验上得到的微波输出为微波频率9.40GHz，微波输出功率2.44GW. 关键词： 两腔振荡器 返波管 多波切仑可夫微波器件

Backward Wave Oscillator Based THz Spectroscopy, Diatomic Formalism and Optically Pumped Lasers

In this paper the Backward Wave Oscillator (BWO) based spectroscopy technique and its application to molecular spectroscopy especially to diatomic molecules have been discussed. This is a new and electronically controlled technique with enormous capabilities most of which are yet to be exploited. This paper also presents a part of the culmination of the collective efforts in developing a cohesive and consolidated enunciation of the spectroscopic parameters and their relationship to effective molecular Hamiltonians for diatomic formalism, linear four- atomic formalism & quasi-linearity, Watson Hamiltonian and the complexities in symmetric and asymmetric top spectral structures and its relationship to optical pumping and / or interstellar space. All these considered together present a beautiful and consistent picture of molecular spectroscopy and THz Electromagnetic sources.

The conversion losses for all the harmonics are measured. The estimations of output power of the source depending on frequency band are given. The examples of applications are presented in phase lock-in scanning BWO regime.
