The quasioptical gyrotron (QOG) is under development at the Naval Research Laboratory as a tunable, high power source of millimeter-wave radiation. A new application of the QOG is in the rapid sintering of high-strength ceramic materials and other heating processes. Millimeter-wave radiation is expected to heat samples much more uniformly and rapidly than conventional furnaces, resulting in improved material properties. This paper presents the design of a new experiment to produce 4 kW average power from 75-95 GHz using a low voltage, dc electron beam.
