Abstract
To cover the so-called terahertz gap in powerful sources of coherent electromagnetic waves, a second-harmonic gyrotron operating in a 10 T liquid helium-free superconducting magnet has been designed, manufactured, and tested. With an operating voltage of 15 kV and a beam current of 0.6 A, the gyrotron generated coherent continuous-wave radiation at a frequency of 0.526 Terahertz with an output power of 250 Watts and an efficiency of 2.7%.
