A quasi-optical gyrotron for the production of electromagnetic radiation in the form of mm waves has several high-power resonators. Resonators have two mirrors each lying on a resonator longitudinal axis aligned perpendicular to an electron beam axis. The electron beam axis is thus given by the path of the electrons forced to gyration by a static magnetic field. Resonator longitudinal axes are basically in a common plane perpendicular to the electron beam axis and form an angle greater than zero.

A coupling-out window for linearly polarized high-power microwaves exhibits at least one plate transparent to microwaves and cooling fins. The cooling fins are situated together with the plate in a plate plane and are aligned perpendicular to a direction of polarization of the microwaves. They are in heat-conducting and pressure-locking contact with the plate.
