Abstract

The results of the development of compact radiation module based on a 300 GHz continuous-wave (CW) clinotron are presented. The clinotron oscillator is proposed as a part of the module designated for high-field dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) systems for applications in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The simulation results of clinotron radiation spectra considering the influence of accelerating voltage pulsations are compared with the requirements for THz radiation linewidth for efficient NMR signal enhancement. Based on the simulations, the 300 GHz CW clinotron oscillator was developed and tested together with the high-voltage (HV) power supply, providing the output voltage stability better than 20 ppm. The frequency stability of 33 ppm was observed during the clinotron operation within several hours. The spectral linewidth is better than 8 MHz at 300 GHz that satisfies the requirements for DNP-NMR spectroscopy.
