Novel techniques using high power, high frequency microwaves for material production and material processing

Objective

This project uses Industrial Free Electron Laser (IFEL) technology to produce focused microwave sources for industrial applications. This device allows industry, for the first time, to have access to high frequency microwaves in the range 10 to 50GHz with powers in excess of 1kW. The innovations are to develop novel solutions for material processing and material production having a higher efficiency, high reliability and lower costs than existing techniques. The main innovation areas have been previously identified under a Thematic Programme These include the generation of microwave plasma for material processing and plasma chemistry , focused microwaves for thermal chemistry and dielectric heating. The IFEL device consolidation will be undertaken to enable high frequency microwave sources to be taken up by industry to replace the lower frequency magnetrons.
