Stabilization of the output power of a 20‐MW klystron to within 0.1

For operation of a free electron laser, requirements on electron energy stability are extremely tight. When a radio frequency field is used to accelerate the electrons, this leads to stringent requirements on the stability of the klystron output power. We present results obtained with a 20‐MW klystr...

Zusammenfassung:For operation of a free electron laser, requirements on electron energy stability are extremely tight. When a radio frequency field is used to accelerate the electrons, this leads to stringent requirements on the stability of the klystron output power. We present results obtained with a 20‐MW klystron which is energized by a pulse‐forming network. The achieved stability of the klystron power is better than 0.1% during 20 μs.
