Millimeter-Wave Band Multi-Mirror Open Resonator. E- and H- Polarized Oscillations
This work provides the experimental research results of E- and H-polarized oscillations of the complex multi-mirror open resonator (OR) , one of the mirrors of which is represented by the echelette reflective grating. The essential difference between the spectra of E- and H- polarized oscillations of complex open resonator (COR) is noted. It is evident that within the range of measurements performed for the H-polarization, only one oscillation mode is excited while in the case with the E-polarization there are excited several of such modes. In this case the self-collimation reflection from the echelette grating determines the conditions for excitation of the OR, which condition is the dispersive element forming up the OR spectrum. Some functional capabilities implied by the design of the suggested multi-mirror open resonant system are also discussed. The suggested multi-mirror open resonant system can find wide application in millimeter-wave band electronics for frequency stabilization of the electron-vacuum and solid-state devices.
Research on orotron oscillator with dispersive open resonant system
Theoretical and experimental results of an investigation into a new resonant system have been obtained. This system is named the sphere-corner-echelette open resonator (SCEOR) due to the employment of a mirror that was formed by two echelettes at the angles of 45° to the resonator axis. It turns ont that this resonator is excited on the specific modes not unique to others oscillating systems.There are presented the results of the experimental research of the orotron oscillator with the SCEOR. The spectrum of this device contains only the fundamental modes such as theT E M006,T E M007,T E M008. The efficiency of the orotron is improved, when all other factors are the same the orotron with a much used sphere-cylindrical open resonator.
The REX-ISOLDE project
The Radioactive Beam Experiment REX-ISOLDE [1–3] is a pilot experiment at ISOLDE (CERN) testing the new concept of post acceleration of radioactive ion beams by using charge breeding of the ions in a high charge state ion source and the efficient acceleration of the highly charged ions in a short LINAC using modern ion accelerator structures. In order to prepare the ions for the experiments singly charged radioactive ions from the on-line mass separator ISOLDE will be cooled and bunched in a Penning trap, charge bred in an electron beam ion source (EBIS) and finally accelerated in the LINAC. The LINAC consists of a radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator, which accelerates the ions up to 0.3 MeV/u, an interdigital H-type (IH) structure with a final energy between 1.1 and 1.2 MeV/u and three seven gap resonators, which allow the variation of the final energy. With an energy of the radioactive beams between 0.8 MeV/u and 2.2 MeV/u a wide range of experiments in the field of nuclear spectroscopy, astrophysics and solid state physics will be addressed by REX-ISOLDE.
