Abstract
Three Mega-Watt 77GHz gyrotrons were developed for an ECRH system in LHD. Their operation could be highly optimized by means of two-step rise of an anode voltage. Output power of 1.78MW with 37.9% efficiency were obtained in the 3rd gyrotron. The system improvement has been promoted including the development of a mmw-beam position and profile monitor.
