Abstract

In this paper, the design studies of the output system are carried out for a dual regime Gyrotron in the context of India’s requirement of clean energy. This design study consists of a dimpled wall quasi-optical launcher (QOL) and RF window. After proper coupling of energy from beam to RF wave, the amplified wave need to be down-convert in a Gaussian-like beam (much simplified lower order). The launcher is designed with a commercial software LOT/Surf3d. This Gaussian-like mode coming out from the gyrotron vacuum system through the RF window is coupled to the corrugated waveguide using Matching Optic Unit (MOU) section. The complete design of the RF window is carried out using Gyrotron Design Suite Version 4.0 (GDSv4.0 2016).
