RF Sources for Medical LINACs
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) conventionally uses a nuclear reactor as the neutron source. The RF linac-based neutron source provides a better controlled neutron energy spectrum without the concern of radioactive waste associated with a reactor. ASTARLAB specializes in the design and manufacturing of RF sources for ion linear accelerator systems. The LINAC systems are used in medical, industrial and scientific research that need beam hungry applications. These applications need the performance, efficiency and low cost system for both CW and Pulsed operations.

High-Power Millimeter Wave for Geothermal Energy
Combining conventional and millimeter wave capabilities for deep geothermal energy is at the core of an energy-independent world. Our mission is to bring this inexhaustible, renewable, clean energy source to future generations. This is the profound power of deep geothermal, unlocking Terawatts of clean energy for all. Millimeter wave drilling will unlock the most abundant and powerful clean energy source on Earth by allowing us to drill as far down as 20 km to reach temperatures up to 500° C. A truly equitable clean energy source, abundantly available near every population and industrial center on the planet. Our HPM-Powered drilling platform vaporizes boreholes through rock and provides access to deep geothermal heat without complex downhole equipment. Based on breakthrough fusion research and well-established drilling practices, a new approach to ultra-deep drilling was developing. First, the conventional rotary drilling to get to basement rock is used. Then, switching to high-power millimeter waves to reach unprecedented depths is necessary.

Pulsed Power for Fusion Energy
Fusion, the power that drives the sun and stars, combines light elements in the form of plasma — the hot, charged state of matter composed of free electrons and atomic nuclei — that generates massive amounts of energy. Scientists are seeking to replicate fusion on Earth for a virtually inexhaustible supply of power to generate electricity. Fusion occurs when the nuclei of light atoms like hydrogen (one proton and one neutron) fuse together and create a new nucleus, releasing energy.
We specialize in the design, optimizing, and manufacturing pulsed power systems for fusion energy. Systems based on Marx generators and tesla transformers are among these subsystems.
