Towards Watt-Level THz Sources for High-Resolution Spectroscopy Based on 5th-Harmonic Multiplication in Gyrotrons

We propose the concept of high-power THz radiation sources based on five-fold frequency multiplication in gyrotrons intended for plasma applications. The efficient excitation at the 5th cyclotron harmonic is due to the specific property of the eigenmodes of cylindrical waveguides, as a result of which, the conditions of simultaneous electrodynamic resonance at two selected TE modes are satisfied asymptotically with very high accuracy. Previously, we have verified this principle in experiments with a low-frequency kilowatt-level gyrotron in which, due to the low-density spectrum, the operating mode is excited with no competition from parasitic oscillations. The novel concept is a development of this idea applied to the systems with a denser spectrum, which is inevitable in higher frequency and power devices. Simulations within the averaged time-domain model demonstrate that, despite the mode competition, it is possible to excite Watt-level 1.25 THz 5th cyclotron harmonic in a recently developed sub-MW 0.25 THz gyrotron with TE19,8 operating mode. The obtained results open a possibility for implementation of radiation sources with output power/frequency combination, practically inaccessible using other THz generation methods and highly sought for a number of applications, including high-resolution molecular spectroscopy.
