Electron optics system(EOS)is an important part of a vacuum electronic device(VED)which includes electron gun, focusing system, and collector. The characteristics of focusing and transmission of electron beam in the EOS can affect the performances of VED, such as power, gain and bandwidth of device, etc. In this paper, we design the EOS for 0.5 THz backward wave oscillator(BWO), and describe the design procedures of the electron gun and the uniform permanent magnetic focusing system in detail. Firstly, based on the results of particle-in-cell(PIC)simulation, we design the electron gun which is satisfied with the required current amplitude and with good beam quality. Secondly, combined with the theoretical analysis, we devise the structure of uniform permanent magnetic focusing system matching the electron beam. The optimum parameters of EOS are as follows: the current emitted from the surface of cathode is greater than 100 mA at the operating voltage 23 kV, the length and diameter of the drift tube are 26 mm and 0.2 mm, respectively.
