Abstract
The quasioptical gyrotron is under development at the Naval Research Laboratory as a high power source of millimeter-wave radiation. The new application 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. The new experiment is designed to produce 4 kW average power from 75-95 GHz using a 20 kV, 1.5 A dc electron beam.
