Abstract
In a quasi-optical gyrotron, two coils (3a, 3b) in a Helmholtz arrangement generate a static magnetic field which is axially symmetrical with respect to an electron beam axis (2). As a result, the electrons passing along the electron beam axis (2) parallel to the magnetic field are forced into gyration and excite an alternating electromagnetic field in a quasi-optical resonator. The resonator comprises two mirrors (4a, 4b) which are arranged opposite to one another on a resonator axis (5) and which exhibit a superconducting reflective surface (6a, 6b). The resonator axis (5) is aligned perpendicularly to the electron beam axis (2) between the two coils (3a, 3b). So that the superconduction is not impaired by the strong magnetic field, means for suppressing the magnetic field at the location of the mirros (4a, 4b) are provided. These means preferably comprise a yoke (10) of a material having a high magnetic permeability.
