• Bragg reflector
• coaxial structure
• reflectivity

A coaxial Bragg reflector is suggested for the application in the cyclotron autoresonance masers (CARMs), where both the outer wall and inner rod are corrugated with weak axisymmetric-sinusoidal-ripple, and a concept design is presented. It is found that, compared to the cylindrical Bragg reflector, the coaxial Bragg reflector has larger dimensional size, narrower bandwidth, and larger eigenvalue intervals. These peculiarities are favorable to the mode selectivity, the ability of dissipating the ohmic heat on the wall, the oscillating startup of the operating mode, and machining manufacture, and therefore, this new kind of Bragg reflector can be developed into a coaxial resonator for the high-power CARMs.
