Essay

The purpose of the work is finding of regimes and physical effects that lead to an increase in the efficiency of oscillation excitation and output of radiation in vacuum electron devices with long-term interaction in the subterahertz and terahertz ranges. The object of research is the processes of interaction of electron beams with electromagnetic waves in vacuum electron devices of the subterahertz and terahertz ranges, processes of competition of modes in the oscillators, as well as the formation of feedback in the studied oscillators. Theoretical and practical results. New physical models have been created that allow finding the conditions for effective excitation of hybrid bulk-surface modes in the Cherenkov oscillator, as well as oscillations in spatially developed electrodynamic systems of the CRM. The regimes in the THz Cherenkov oscillator with Watt power level have been found theoretically. Theoretically and experimentally, the conditions for suppressing competition in a gyrotron for the stable generation at a frequency of 0.78 THz have been revealed. Stabilization (better than 1% for power and 10-6 for frequency) and modulation (20 kHz speed and up to 100 MHz bandwidth) systems of THz gyrotrons have been created. Novelty of scientific results. It was demonstrated that the presence of delayed reflection in a subTHz gyrotron expands the range of frequency tuning due to the forward wave excitation. It is shown that the after-cavity interaction in the THz gyrotron causes a sharp increase of the output power at first cyclotron harmonic at the magnitudes of the magnetic fields that correspond to the excitation of very high axial order modes and it worsens the conditions for the excitation of the second cyclotron harmonic. Peculiarities of the competition of modes with different directions of rotation when the axis of the electron beam in the gyrotron is shifted are revealed. An effective feedback regime was found at excitation of hybrid bulk-surface modes in a Cherenkov oscillator, which is low sensitive to ohmic losses and in which the ratio of ohmic loss power and output power are close. Research methods. Numerical solution of the Poisson equation and the motion of charged particles by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, self-consistent solution of the wave excitation equation and electron flow motion equation by the finite difference method. The experimental part was carried out according to the classical methods of measuring power and frequency for the terahertz range. The solution of the electron motion equation was carried out numerically using the Runge-Kutta method and the macro particle method; the calculation of the electromagnetic field excited by the electron beam, as well as dispersion in electrodynamic systems containing a grating, was carried out by the method of partial regions and the projection method. To analyze the excitation of a cylindrical waveguide with a slightly variable radius, the method of the equation of an inhomogeneous vibrating string with reflectionless conditions was used. The electron-wave interaction was studied as a result of the numerical integration of the weakly non-stationary wave excitation equation together with the equations of motion of the electron beam using the finite difference method. The experimental study was carried out using classical methods of measuring power, frequency and spectrum. Degree of implementation. The results of the work can be used in the creation of THz oscillators with increased power and improved stability of output parameters. Scope of use. The developed oscillators of the subterahertz and terahertz ranges can be used as a source of electromagnetic radiation in such applications as spectroscopy, THz imaging, plasma diagnostics, in the creation of new materials, biological research, communication systems and radar, etc.
