THz Gas Discharge Sustained by Powerful Gyrotrons in the Mixtures of Noble Gases with Nitrogen

摘要

Results of the experimental investigation of the discharge front propagation in the beams of powerful terahertz (670 GHz) and sub-terahertz (263 GHz) radiation are presented. The front propagation velocity is measured in the wide pressure ranges of the noble gas (argon, krypton) mixtures with nitrogen (0.1–2 atm).
