Abstract

The maximal frequency of radiation higher than 1 THz has been recently obtained in pulse gyrotrons both at IAP (Nizhny Novgorod, Russia) and FIR (Fukui, Japan). CW generation at a 2.2-kW power level is radiated from a 300-GHz gyrotron and used for technological applications. New gyrotrons demonstrate single-mode operation at the second cyclotron harmonic with a frequency of 395 GHz in the CW regime with a power of 100 W and at the third harmonic with frequencies of 371-414 GHz in 10-mus pulses with power of 10-20 kW. Methods of selective excitation of higher cyclotron harmonics, frequency multiplication, and smooth frequency tuning in terahertz gyrotrons are also discussed in the review.
