51 FIR FU f i > 4f ce suppression of ECE CTS in LHD 400 GHz band is one choice. Salpeter Parameter R along scattered wave path (m) Linked with slide 15

52 FIR FU Vk = 57 kv Achieved 50 kw From Notake PRL paper More than 50 kw at 349 GHz and about 40 kw at 390 GHz have been achieved. These are highest powers as second harmonic oscillation of gyrotron. Oscillation efficiency decreases for large beam current possibly due to degradation of the quality of the electron beam.
