Conversion of gyrotron output into a Gaussian beam using the far-field

摘要

A compact system to convert gyrotron output into an intense gaussian beam has been designed by introducing an intermediate focusing element into the quasi-optical system. The design is significantly simplified by applying gaussian optics and confirmed by application of the Huygens equation. The beam quality is improved by truncating the sidelobes of the far-field. In spite of the beam truncation, only a small fraction (11%) of the beam power is sacrificed.
