Compression of 20 kW 170 GHz Gyrotron Output Radiation by Quasi-Optical Resonator With Laser Activated GaAs Switch
A compression of the output radiation of a 20 kW, 170 GHz gyrotron has been experimentally demonstrated in a quasi-optical travelling wave resonator with a gallium arsenide switch activated by a 532 nm picoseconds laser. A compression ratio of 20 has been obtained when the energy of picosecond laser pulses reached 50 mJ. The power of compressed pulses has been estimated at the level of 0.4 MW. The duration of compressed pulses did not exceed 1.2 ns which was less than the resonator round-trip time.
