A maximum pulse duration of 1.3 s was achieved with a power of 410 kW
at a frequency of 110 GHz and a maximum power of 550 kW was obtained w
ith short-pulse operations (ca. 2 ms). The oscillation mode of the gyr
otron is the TE(22,2) whispering gallery mode, which is transformed in
to a gaussian-like beam by a built-in quasi-optical mode converter. R.
f. power is extracted through a sapphire double-disc window cooled by
FC-75. In long-pulse operation, no damage was observed in the gyrotron
.
