等离子体填充耦合腔链特性研究

Study on characteristics of coupled cavity chain filled with plasma

用严格的场匹配方法分析了填充等离子体的耦合腔链,研究了等离子体 腔混合模的形成以及"冷带宽"和"热带宽"的展宽效应。等离子体填充周期性耦合腔链后,形成周期性的截止频率为0的等离子体TG模式。当填充的等离子体密度较大,且腔模和TG模式发生部分重叠时,两者相互耦合,形成等离子体 腔混合模式。工作在混合模式下,其"冷带宽"和"热带宽"大大增宽,且耦合阻抗比真空时提高了近5倍,因此在填充等离子体后,耦合腔链的慢波特性得到了显著的改善。

In this paper, by using rigorous field analysis, a coupledcavity (CC) chain filled with plasma has been analyzed. How the hybrid wave between the cavity mode and plasma mode is formed has been studied. The periodical CC chain filled with plasma demonstrates periodical TG modes with a cutoff frequency of zero. When the plasma density increase to a large scale, the cavity mode of the CC chain overlaps the TG mode, these two modes couple with each other and form the hybrid modes. In the case of hybrid modes, the 'cold ' bandwidth and the 'warm' bandwidth expand, and the coupled impedance increases about 5 times larger than that of the vacuum. As a whole, the slow wave characteristics are improved substantially due to the formation of the hybrid mode.
