Abstract
An overview is given of works on two experimental installations that implement large-orbit gyrotrons (LOG) operating in the sub-terahertz frequency range at high harmonics of the electronic cyclotron frequency. At the installation of a pulsed LOG (80–100 keV/0.7–1.0 A), a radiation source with a frequency of 1 THz with a kilowatt output power level is being developed, which is planned to be used in plasma applications. A continuous subterahertz LOG (30 keV/0.7 A) is being created as a prototype of a universal multi-frequency source for spectroscopic applications. Complex electrodynamic systems are also described, designed to increase the selectivity and efficiency of excitation of high cyclotron harmonics in these devices, as well as to ensure the tuning of the generation frequency.
