Abstract :
Calabazas Creek Research Inc. (CCR) is developing a THz gyrotron with repetitive pulse capability. The gyrotron is designed to produce radiation up to 5 kW in 10 microsecond pulses from 650 GHz to 1 THz at the fundamental cyclotron resonance and between 1 THz and 2 THz at the second harmonic. The magnetic field is provided by a pulsed solenoid producing up to 37 Tesla. The solenoid is expected to operate at pulse repetition rate of about 1 Hz. A new magnet design and tests of the magnet and gyrotron will be reported.
