High-power inverters were initially developed for the long-distance transmission of power from a three-phase source to a remote three-phase sink using a DC overhead transmission line or cable. Early DC power transmission used mercury arc thyratrons (gas-filled values or tubes), which functioned in a manner very similar to the early types of thyristors. The on state of the valves was controllable, but the off state was determined by natural commutation made available by the sinusoidal voltages of the sink power system, see Reference 13. A brief description of three-phase inverters follows. 

Natural rubber finds its major use in the manufacture of pneumatic tires and tubes, power transmission belts, conveyer belts, gaskets, mountings, hose, chemical tank linings, printing press platens, sound and/or shock absorbers, and seals against air, moisture, sound, and dirt. 

At microwave frequencies in the range 72-145 GHz, the critical parameters for high-power transmission are the dielectric characteristics of the window material the dielectric loss factor tan 5 and the permittivity e[. (or the refractive index n = because they affect power absorption and reflection [42]. The dielectric loss factor tan 8 in low loss samples is usually measured as the decrease in the Q factor of a resonant cavity [43]. Low dielectric loss materials find application as the output windows of high-power microwave tubes. A specific case is that of windows for Gyrotron tubes operating in the 70-170 GHz frequency region with output powers in excess of 1 MW, as will be discussed later. 

A configuration in which / is reduced to zero is called the target transmission tube (TTT). The anode material is evaporated directly on the beryllium window. The anode is irradiated from the back while a significant part of the bremsstrahlung escapes from the front and exits the tube. This geometry requires a much lower input power (200 W compared with 3kW for the conventional EWT) and, as a result, does not normally require cooling with water.

The electrical conductivity of aluminium is around two-thirds that of copper, which it is replacing in many electrical applications. Overhead power transmission lines made of aluminium or aluminium alloy of the Almelec type, on the market in France since 1927 [2] are used throughout the world. Aluminium bars and tubes are also widely used in connecting stations for high- and medium-voltage outdoor networks. 

For the finite values of A for light, the evanescent fields lose some of their power to the absorbing cladding. This loss in turn leads to a loss of power from the ray path. Ray power flows along narrow ray tubes, as discussed at the beginning of Chapter 4, from which loss can occur only at reflection or turning points, i.e. at positions where there is an abrupt discontinuity in the tube or its cross-sectional area is zero. At these points, we express the loss in terms of a power transmission coefficient T, also known as a loss coefficient, defined by the dimensionless ratio... 

Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) has recently emerged as a powerful surface probe [95, 96]. Second harmonic generation has long been used to produce frequency doublers from noncentrosymmetric crystals. As a surface probe, SHG can be caused by the break in symmetry at the interface between two centrosymmetric media. A high-powered pulsed laser is focused at an angle of incidence from 30 to 70° onto the sample at a power density of 10 to 10 W/cm. The harmonic is observed in reflection or transmission at twice the incident frequency with a photomultiplier tube. 

It is common to employ microwave power monitoring by means of a dual-directional coupler in the waveguide transmission system between the power tube and the useful load. Part of the coupled signals may be used for examination with spectmm analy2ers, frequency meters, and other microwave instmmentation for special purposes. Generally, this is not necessary in a practical appHcation. Many microwave measurement techniques have been described (59,60). AvailabiHty of components, plumbing, and instmmentation is weU described in trade journals.
