Abstract
In a quasi-optical gyrotron an electron beam (1) passes along an electron beam axis (2) and in so doing is compressed by a static magnetic field and forced into gyration, so that it excites in a quasi-optical resonator a standing alternating electro-magnetic field of given frequency. The resonator exhibits two mirrors (4a, 4b) arranged opposite to one another on a resonator axis (5) aligned perpendicular to the electron beam axis (2). In order to generate radiation in a wide frequency range, each of the two mirrors (4a, 4b) of the resonator is arranged in each case on a movable mount (8a, 8b) together with at least one further mirror (4c, 4d). In order to set a specific frequency of the alternating field, it is possible for two mirrors (4c, 4d), corresponding to one another and tuned to the desired frequency, to be brought onto the resonator axis by actuating the movable mounts (8a, 8b). Up to six mirrors are preferably attached to a revolver-type rotatable mount which is rotatable about an axis of rotation parallel to the resonator axis.
