    Notes: The design of high power, continuous wave (cw), 170 GHz gyrotron cavities is considered. The anticipated degradation of efficiency with beam velocity spread places a premium on the optimization of efficiency. For parameters of interest achievement of high efficiency requires utilization of a high quality cavity. Two options are considered: a barrel cavity and a long simple tapered cavity operating at low voltage. The cavities are examined for their sensitivity to velocity spread, their mode competition, and their maximum Ohmic power dissipation. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Mode competition can present a major hurdle in achieving stable, efficient operation of a gyrotron at the cyclotron harmonics. A type of mode interaction in which three modes at different cyclotron harmonics are parametrically coupled together is analyzed here. This coupling can lead to parametric excitation or suppression of a mode; cyclic mode hopping; or the coexistence of three modes. Simulation results are presented for the parametric instability involving modes at the fundamental, second harmonic, and third harmonic of the cyclotron frequency. It is shown that the parametric excitation can lead to stable, efficient operation of a high-power gyrotron at the third harmonic. Based on this phenomenon, two practical designs are presented here for the third harmonic operation at 94 and 210 GHz. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The demonstration of optical guiding of high-intensity laser pulses in a plasma fiber waveguide [C. G. Durfee III and H. M. Milchberg, Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 2409 (1993)] has opened the way to new advances in the development of nonlinear optics-based short-wavelength light sources, soft x-ray lasers, and compact laser-driven charged particle accelerators, and offers a new practical realm in which to study, control, and apply nonperturbative laser–matter interactions at ultrahigh intensity. An overview of selected experimental and theoretical results and their applications is presented. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The enhancement of stability to ballooning modes from negative shear in tokamaks is shown to be a simple consequence of the orientation of the convective cell with respect to the toroidally outward effective gravity, g↘. For modest positive shear, convective cells remain oriented along g↘ as they map along field lines. In contrast, for negative shear or very positive shear convective cells twist strongly away from g↘ and are less strongly driven. The twist of convection cells is controlled by the profile of the vertical magnetic field along the outer midplane, Bz. Twist is a minimum in regions where Bz is independent of the major radius. Transport should be highest in such locations. Resistive ballooning modes in the tokamak edge are strongly stabilized by modest values of negative shear. Tokamak discharges with finite values of βp develop regions of local negative shear on the outside midplane of the plasma torus. This local negative shear should self-stabilize resistive ballooning modes at finite values of the poloidal beta. This effect may impact the transition to high confinement operation (H-mode). © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A time-dependent nonlinear analysis of a helix traveling wave tube (TWT) is presented for a configuration where an electron beam propagates through a sheath helix surrounded by a conducting wall. The effects of dielectric and vane loading are included in the formulation as is efficiency enhancement by tapering the helix pitch. Dielectric loading is described under the assumption that the gap between the helix and the wall is uniformly filled by a dielectric material. The vane-loading model describes the insertion of an arbitrary number of vanes running the length of the helix, and the polarization of the field between the vanes is assumed to be an azimuthally symmetric transverse-electric mode. The field is represented as a superposition of azimuthally symmetric waves in a vacuum sheath helix. An overall explicit sinusoidal variation of the form exp(ikz−iωt) is assumed (where ω denotes the angular frequency corresponding to the wave number k in the vacuum sheath helix), and the polarization and radial variation of each wave is determined by the boundary conditions in a vacuum sheath helix. The propagation of each wave in vacuo as well as the interaction of each wave with the electron beam is included by allowing the amplitudes of the waves to vary in z and t. A dynamical equation for the field amplitudes is derived analogously to Poynting's equation, and solved in conjunction with the three-dimensional Lorentz force equations for an ensemble of electrons. Electron beams with a both a continuous and emission-gated pulse format are analyzed, and the model is compared with linear theory of the interaction as well as with the performance of a TWTs operated at the Naval Research Laboratory and at Northrop–Grumman Corporation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
