Gyrotron Development for High Power THz Technologies at IAP RAS

The review summarizes recent experimental results in the field of THz gyrotrons developed for various applications. A CW gyrotron with the operation frequency of 0.26 THz has been successfully used for DNP spectroscopy A pulsed high-harmonic Large Orbit Gyrotron (LOG) with the frequency of 0.55 THz and kW level of output power has been used for THz breakdown and obtaining dense plasma in gases. A powerful pulsed 0.67 THz/200 kW gyrotron is under development for remote detection of ionization sources.
