Abstract

The tapered RF interaction cavity of 140 GHz tunable continuous wave (CW) gyrotron operating in TE0,3,q mode has been tailored with the aim of providing RF power over a tunable bandwidth for 212 MHz DNP NMR spectroscopy applications. Gyrotron device RF interaction cavity design, its beam absent RF characteristics as well as electron beam and RF wave interaction behavior, both analytical and Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulation studies have been presented. Using linear analysis, the start oscillation currents and the RF field profiles for the various axial operating modes indices q = 1, 2, 3 have been determined. Suitable modifications in the interaction cavity have been incorporated for the enhancement of device tunable bandwidth by operating the gyrotron in the high order axial indices via magnetic tuning. Gyrotron beam-wave interaction behaviour explored using time dependent non-linear multi-mode analysis for various beam currents and magnetic fields and more than >15W of RF power over a tunable bandwidth of 400MHz has been achieved through magnetic field tuning. This tunable bandwidth gyrotron design will of immense use for enhancement of sensitivity of the DNP NMR spectroscopy.
