background:
Currently, some modern spectroscopic applications require sub-terahertz and terahertz continuous-wave electromagnetic radiation sources with power levels from 0.1 to 100 W. Gyrotron, a powerful high-frequency vacuum electronics device, is considered as one of the promising sources for these aims.

result:
The paper considers the features of terahertz gyrotrons intended for various spectroscopic applications. The advantages and disadvantages of a well-studied canonical (classical)-type gyrotron are analyzed, taking into account modern requirements for terahertz range sources. Promising non-canonical schemes are presented, the features of which compare favorably with the canonical gyrotron scheme. A new type of gyrotron has been introduced — a compact gyrotron, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost and dimensions of a gyrotron installation.
conclusion:
Despite more than 50 years of development of gyrotrons, new promising ideas are currently being proposed that make it possible to much better master the terahertz range. The considered gyrotron schemes allow to develop a unique gyrotron installation for each scientific group, considering the specifics of their scientific research.
