Dayton, JA., Kory, CL., Mearini, GT., Malta, D., Lueck, M., & Vancil, B. (2012). Fabrication and testing of the 0.650 THz helical BWO. In IEEE Thirteenth International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IVEC 2012), Monterey, CA, 24-26 April 2012 (pp. 33-34) https://doi.org/10.1109/IVEC.2012.6262063
Teraphysics Corporation has assembled and tested a 0.65 THz backward wave oscillator (BWO) with a helical slow wave circuit. The helix is a coil of gold wire, which is smaller in outside diameter than a human hair. It is supported by a thin diamond sheet and mounted within a micromilled copper block.
