Popis: In order to check the usability of large-size CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond disks for high power millimeter wave vacuum barrier windows at room temperature (T = 293 K) a first series of experiments, using a 170 GHz, 0.4 MW, 0.2 s JAERI/Toshiba gyrotron1), have been performed. The dielectric loss tangent at a frequency of 170 GHz has been determined to be tan δ = 1.3·10−4. By comparing the experimental results to numerical simulations the thermal conductivity was estimated to be about k ≈ 1800 W/mK. This preliminary results indicate that a single-disk CVD diamond window assembly using a water-edge cooling could fulfill the requirements for a continuous wave (CW) transmission of millimeter wave power in the megawatt range. This is needed for the Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).
