11.1 Introduction

This chapter is devoted to a treatment of two classes of narrowband microwave sources with demonstrated high power capability deep into the millimeter and even sub-millimeter wavelength ranges: gyrotrons and electron cyclotron masers (ECMs), and free-electron lasers (FELs). This fourth edition continues to emphasize megawatt-class CW gyrotron technology for fusion applications, which remains the primary frontier for these technologies. Nevertheless, as of 2024, FELs still hold the record for experimentally achieved Pf2; a demonstration ...
