Abstract :
Results of experimental tests of a high-power sub-terahertz gyrotron with a pulse solenoid are presented. The operating frequency corresponds to the atmospheric transparency window (0.66-0.67 THz). The output power up to 200 kW in single 50 microsecond pulses was obtained. The 0.3THz/0.5 MW tube is under experimental tests. Gas discharges have been realized in a wide range of pressures (0.01-1500 Torr) and different gases. Such discharges can be used as the pointed source of UV/VUV radiation, including the projection lithography.
