Pulsed wideband orotrons of millimeter and submillimeter waves

Abstract

We have developed a series of low-voltage orotrons operated in the short-wave part of the millimeter and long-wave section of the submillimeter wavelength range. The use of an open resonator as the electrodynamic system of the orotron ensures high stability of the radiation frequency and a wide band of frequency tuning. The output orotron power achieved experimentally amounts to hundreds of milliwatts, which is sufficient for many promising spectroscopy methods.
