Gyrotrons are proving to be very reliable sources of high power at frequencies in the range of 28 to 170 GHz, where other sources are very limited in power capability. As a specific example for ECRIS applications, a 10 kW, 28 GHz CW gyrotron has made possible significant increases in the ion currents generated by the Venus ion source at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory*. In this paper we briefly discuss the physics and engineering aspects of the gyrotron oscillator, point out some of the issues that require special treatment in the control system and power supplies for it, review related gyro-devices, and present important applications.
