Abstract :
In this paper, the authors investigate possibilities of gyrotron operation in high order modes on the second cyclotron harmonic. Results are obtained with the use of the well-known gyrotron code MAGY. Particular attention is paid to finding the trade-off between Ohmic losses and the interaction efficiency when choosing the cavity geometry. Competition of the operating mode with the modes operating on the fundamental harmonic is analyzed.
