Photonic-Band-Gap Traveling-Wave Gyrotron Amplifier

Photonic-Band-Gap Traveling-Wave Gyrotron Amplifier

We report the experimental demonstration of a gyrotron traveling-wave-tube amplifier at 250 GHz that uses a photonic band gap (PBG) interaction circuit. The gyrotron amplifier achieved a peak small signal gain of 38 dB and 45 W output power at 247.7 GHz with an instantaneous −3  dB bandwidth of 0.4...
