Spectral phase conjugation with cross-phase modulation compensation

Spectral phase conjugation with short pump pulses in a third-order nonlinear material is analyzed in depth. It is shown that if signal amplification is considered, the conversion efficiency can be significantly higher than previously considered, while the ...

Modelling of the electron cyclotron current drive experiments in the TCV tokamak

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Roland Behn, Petri Nikkola

With the very high electron cyclotron (EC) wave power density achieved in the TCV tokamak, more than 20 MW m(-3), quasilinear modelling predicts an electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) efficiency well in excess to the experimental value, by up to a fact ...

Demonstration of microwave generation by a ferroelectric-cathode tube

Catherine Pralong

A ferroelectric cathode is employed in a cyclotron-resonance maser (CRM). The CRM oscillator device operates at similar to 7 GHz, near the cutoff frequency of a hollow cylindrical cavity. The cathode is made of a PLZT 12/65/35 ceramic with high-dielectric ...

Electron beam instabilities in gyrotron beam tunnels

Stefano Alberti, Minh Quang Tran, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Trach-Minh Tran

Electron beam instabilities occurring in a gyrotron electron beam can induce an energy spread which might significantly deteriorate the gyrotron efficiency. Three types of instabilities are considered to explain the important discrepancy found between the ...
