The use of medium power millimeter wave CW gyrotrons (10-
30 kW and 30-100 GHz) has several potential applications in
advanced materials processing. Since a stochastic field
distribution in the applicator is desirable no pencil beam is
necessary. Then the possibility to couple the circular
symmetric gyrotron output to a higher order free space mode
can be considered. Beam waveguides based on iterative
reflection of such high order beams on properly designed
mirrors opens the possibility to increase the efficiency and to
reduce costs of present compact transmission lines in gyrotron
technological systems.
