RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION LEADING TO METHODS OF GENERATING AND DETECTING RADIATION IN THE 100 TO 1000 MICRON WAVELENGTH RANGE OF THE SPECTRUM. Quarterly Progress Report No. 16 for Period Covered December 1, 1959 to March 1, 1960

Further work on experimentally testing the theory of a plasma frequency multiplier indicated that for the multiplier geometry now employed, quantitative predictions can be made on the behavior of the device. A plasma resonator, using electromagnetic, dipolar modes, appeared to posses very desirable propenties as indicated by the computed mode charts. Work was initiated on three schemes of producing the uniform plasma column required in the study of polarization modes in a gyromagmetic plasma. The Cherenkov effect was considered in a gyromagnetic plasma, a dielectric tube resonator, and a dipolar plasma resonator. A brief summary of the over-all component development and evaluation program is included. (For preceding period see AECU-4661.) (W.D.M.)
