The stabilizing influence of external reflections on gyrotron operation has been demonstrated in direct particle-in-cell modeling. A model with a temporal realization duration providing an opportunity to calculate frequency characteristics with a relative accuracy no worse than 2 × 10^–6 has been used for the first time. An almost twofold reduction in the spectrum width of a 28-GHz gyrotron has been observed experimentally after the introduction of reflections of the output signal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
