【 摘 要 】

Pulse compression systems for future linear colliders, involve hundreds of kilometers of waveguide runs. These waveguides are highly overmoded to reduce the rf losses. In this paper we present a novel idea for utilizing these waveguides several times by using different modes. This idea is suitable for reflective delay lines. All the modes being used have low-loss characteristics. We describe mechanically simple mode transducers that switch the propagation mode from one configuration to another with no observable dispersion. We apply this technique to a resonant delay line pulse compression system. We also present experimental results that verify these theoretical developments.
