A dual-frequency(105/140 GHz)MW-level continuous-wave gyrotron was developed for fusion application at Institute of Applied Electronics,China Academy of Engineering Physics.This gyrotron employs a cylindrical cavity working in the TE18,7 mode at 105 GHz and the TE24,9 mode at 140 GHz.A triode magnetron injection gun and a built-in quasi-optical mode converter were designed to operate at these two frequencies.For the proof-test phase,the gyrotron was equipped with a single-disk boron nitride window to achieve radio frequency output with a power of~500 k W for a short-pulse duration.In the preliminary short-pulse proof-test in the first quarter of2021,the dual-frequency gyrotron achieved output powers of 300 k W at 105 GHz and 540 k W at140 GHz,respectively,under 5 Hz 1 ms continuous pulse-burst operations.Power upgrade and pulse-width extension were hampered by the limitation of the high-voltage power supply and output window.This gyrotron design was preliminarily validated.
