The development of a submillimeter wave, high-harmonic gyrotron using a 12 T superconducting magnet is described. It has achieved frequencies as high as 636 GHz (corresponding to a wavelength of 472 {mu}m) in second harmonic operation. Many resonances could be obtained as a single mode without competing modes. Typical output power is several hundred watts at both the fundamental and the second harmonic. At low beam currents ({ital I}{sub {ital b}}{similar_to}0.5 A), third harmonic operation has been obtained. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
