Abstract

In previous papers we have shown how beams of millimeter-wavelength electromagnetic radiation with phase singularities can be generated by diffraction from a specially-configured forked blazed grating. Here we consider how the hollow conical beam output of a gyrotron is diffracted by this kind of grating. Two applications are considered; using the grating (a) as a single-element quasioptical antenna to convert the output into a well-collimated gaussian-like beam and (b) as a device to enable the estimation of the fractions in oppositely-rotating modes in the gyrotron output.
