Abstract:
A Smith-Purcell (SP) free electron laser (FEL), composed of a metallic diffraction flat grating, an open cylindrical mirror cavity and a relativistic sheet electron beam with moderate energy, is presented. The characteristics of this device are studied by theoretical analysis, experimental measurements and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation method. Results indicate that the coherent radiation with an output peak power up to 50 MW at millimeter wavelengths can be generated by using relativistic electron beam of moderate energy
