  2. Introduction:

  3. Objective: Filling the Terahertz Gap Science, 23 November 2007 R. Kleiner, “Filling the terahertz gap”, Science 318, 1254 (2007).

  4. Terahertz Research • THz photonics • THz spectroscopy • THz plasmonics • Plasma diagnostics • Fusion • ESR • DNP NMR • Material processing Number of publications in Physical Review Letters. Search title/abstract using the key word--- “terahertz”.

  5. Applications: high power ESR DNP NMR

  6. How to Generate Terahertz Radiations Generate THz radiations: • Electronics: (high power, coherent) • Free electron laser • Electron cyclotron maser - gyrotron • Backward-Wave Oscillator • Photonics: (low power, non-coherent) • Josephson effect • Quantum cascade laser • Far infrared laser • Femtosecond laser

  7. Terahertz vacuum electron devices Generate THz radiations: high power Terahertz FEL FEL gyrotron BWO

  10. ECM based Devices --- gyrotrons The gyrotron is a coherent radiation source based on the electron cyclotron maser(ECM) interaction gyro-monotron high average power gyro-BWO continuous frequency tunability (relatively unexploited)

  11. Difficulties for Terahertz gyro-BWO

  12. Difficulties: Underlying Physics • 2000 Nonlinear field contraction • 2001 Nonstationary and chaotic behavior • 2002 Linear and time-dependent behavior of gyro-BWO • 2005 Dynamics of mode competition All published in PRL.

  13. The high efficiency gyro-BWO T. H. Chang, C. T. Fan, K. F. Pao, K. R. Chu, and S. H. Chen, “Stability and tunability of Gyrotron Backward-Wave Oscillator”, Appl. Phys. Lett. 90, 191501 (2007).

  14. W-bandTE01 gyro-BWO Vacuum container Anode Center electrode (Cathode nose) Electron emitter Outer electrode @ 3-5 A, 100 kV Difficulty #1: 110 GHz PNA Difficulty #2: THz mode converter Difficult #3: Electron gun @ 3-5 A, 40.4 kG Difficulty #4: Magnet T. H. Chang, et al., “W-band TE01 gyrotron backward-wave oscillator with distributed loss”, Phys. Plasmas 15, 073105 (2008). 14

  15. First difficulty: Basic diagnostic system Solved 2006: vector network analyzer E8363B 2,800,000 NTD. 2007: test set controller N5260A 2,400,000 NTD. 2008: Millimeter wave head module N5260AW10 2,600,000 NTD. 15

  16. Second difficulty:TE01 mode converter Solved 22 GHz

  17. Second difficulty  a main vantage T. H. Chang, C. H. Li, C. N. Wu, and C. F. Yu, “Exciting circular TEmn modes at low terahertz region”, Appl. Phys. Lett. 93, 111503 (2008).

  18. Terahertz Devices Using LIGA Require high precision machining (<2 um)  LIGA technique 1. irradiation (mask) 3. electroforming 2. development (SU-8) 4. cold test • 200 GHz TE02 mode converter (for Fukui University, Japan) • 400 GHz TE41 mode converter (Fourth harmonic gyrotron)

  19. Scaled experiment: Ka-band TE01 gyro-BWO Tuning range: 15.8% Peak efficiency: 23.7% • Distributed loss suppresses the axial-mode competition. • Mode-selective circuit suppresses the transverse-mode competition. 19

  20. Third difficulty:Electron gun • Magnetron Injection Gun (MIG) for W-band gyro-BWO. • CUSP gun for high harmonic gyro-BWO. Problem for gyro-BWO New design (for gyro-BWO) Old design (for gyro-TWT) W-band MIG gun is ready for fabrication. CUSP gun simulation

  21. Fourth difficulty:Magnet • Pulsed magnet (40 Tesla, 3,000,000 NTD) • Superconducting magnet (8 Tesla, 6,000,000 NTD) Our old magnet is aging and has hysteresis effect. 2 Tesla is barely okay. Magnet is the biggest problem to us. Sufficient research funding can solve the problem.

  22. Reducing the Magnetic Field Requirement Second harmonic slotted gyro-BWO: N. C. Chen, C. F. Yu, and T. H. Chang, “A TE21 second-harmonic gyrotron backward-wave oscillator with slotted structure”, Phys. Plasmas, 14, 123105 (2007). 22
