An experiment with a series-field-coil intense ion beam diode operating at the 1.6-MV, 0.8-TW level is described. The diode operates in the extraction mode with a 20-cm focal length. The diode design procedure is described together with some of the essential ion diode theory used in this design process. The experiment produced a well-focused ion beam while verifying some of the theoretical assumptions about ion diodes of this type. The experimental results are compared with numerical computer simulations and excellent agreement is obtained.
