Abstract

A new application for soliton theory is the nonlinear evolution of an electromagnetic wave in a crossed-field device such as a magnetron or a crossed-field amplifier. With a singular perturbation analysis, we are able to more accurately predict the operating range of such devices. Important new insights into the physics of how these devices operate are also found.
