Optimization of high power and high efficiency operation of 77GHz gyrotrons for ECRH in the large helical device

Three Mega-Watt 77GHz gyrotrons were developed for an ECRH system in LHD. Their operation could be highly optimized by means of two-step rise of an anode voltage. Output power of 1.78MW with 37.9% efficiency were obtained in the 3rd gyrotron. The system improvement has been promoted including the de...
