| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The magnetron-injection-guns (MIGs) are a critical component of gyrotrons which are operated in the THz range of frequencies. The emitter is made of porous tungsten impregnated with barium compounds. There are small gaps in order to thermally isolate the emitter from the other elements of the cathode. In this study, two kinds of MIG cathodes with different gap position arrangements were fabricated in order to investigate the effect of those gaps on electron beam characteristics. Each cathode was installed and tested in a 0.2-THz gyrotron. The oscillation characteristics associated with the electron beam properties were evaluated by comparing the observed results and the numerical ones. Although the substantial decreases in the electron beam quality and the output power were numerically predicted in case of the thermal insulation gaps close to the emitter, the reductions were small under the optimized experimental conditions.
