Abstract :
A 300 GHz backward wave oscillator (BWO) is presently in fabrication and the design of a 650 GHz BWO is nearing completion. Both devices make use of the novel biplanar interdigital slow wave circuit and patented GENVAC technology for the fabrication of intricate chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond structures
