Extrapolation of the Dutch 1 MW tunable free electron maser to a 5 MW ECRH source
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab., CA (United States)
- FOM-Instituut voor Plasmafysica, Rijnhuizen (Netherlands)
A Free Electron Maser (FEM) is now under construction at the FOM Institute (Rijnhuizen) Netherlands with the goal of producing 1 MW long pulse to CW microwave output in the range 130 GHz to 250 GHz with wall plug efficiencies of 50% (Verhoeven, et al EC-9 Conference). An extrapolated version of this device is proposed which by scaling up the beam current, would produce microwave power levels of up to 5 MW CW in order to reduce the cost per watt and increase the power per module, thus providing the fusion community with a practical ECRH source.
