  • Abstract
    Applications such as fusion diagnostics, imaging and security systems require high frequency sources. As part of a joint international effort regarding novel THz BWOs, a double staggered grating sheet beam BWO at 346 GHz is underdevelopment and being fabricated. Design work has been done on various components, with nano machining and cold testing of the slow wave structure completed.
