Plasma influence on the dispersion properties of finite-length, corrugated waveguides
(The American Physical Society, 1996-03)
We present an experimental study of the electromagnetic properties of transverse magnetic modes in a
corrugated-wall cavity filled with a radially inhomogeneous plasma. The shifts of the .resonant frequencies of
a ...
A High-average power tapered FEL amplifier at submillimeter frequencies using sheet electron beams and short-period wigglers
(Elsevier, 1990-09-17)
A high-average-power FEL amplifier operating at submillimeter frequencies is under development
at the University of Maryland. Program goals are to produce a CW, ~ 1 MW,
FEL amplifier source at frequencies between 280 GHz ...
Experimental and numerical results on a millimeter-wave free electron laser amplifier
(Elsveier - Nuclear instruments and methods in physics research, 1993-07)
Progress in studies of a millimeter-wave free electron laser amplifier based on a small period planar wiggler and a sheet electron beam is reported. Successful propagation of a 15 A sheet electron beam has been accomplished ...
From linearity towards chaos: Basic studies of relativistic backward-wave oscillators
(American Physical Society, 1992-09-14)
Recent experimental studies have revealed for the first time some basic features of pulsed. relativistic (300-600 keY) backward-wave oscillators such as starting current, axial mode locking, and multifrequency
operation. ...
Experimental demonstration of an electromagnetically pumped free-electron laser with a cyclotron-harmonic idler
(American Physical Society, 1988)
A three-wave, free-electron laser was operated with a powerful 8.4-GHz electromagnetic "pump"
wave replacing the usual magnetostatic wiggler. The presence of a uniform axial magnetic field Bo produced
cyclotron-harmonic ...
New modes in a plasma with periodic boundaries: the origin of the dense spectrum
(The American Physical Society, 1991-10-28)
We analyze the new features of the low-frequency (£0 < £Op) modes of wave propagation in a plasma filled,
spatially periodic structure. The spectrum of these modes is drastically modified by the periodic
boundaries in a ...
Periodic magnetic focusing of sheet electron beams
(American Institute of Physics, 1994-05)
Sheet electron beams focused by periodically cusped magnetic (PCM ) fields are stable against
low-frequency velocity-shear instabilities (such as the diocotron mode). This is in contrast to
the more familiar unstable ...
High power plasma filled backward wave oscillators
(SPIE, 1988-01)
Relativistic backward wave oscillators (BWOs) have proven to be relatively efficient,
high-power microwave sources in the centimeter wavelength range. Recent Soviet results
have indicated that the use of a background ...
Novel method for determining the elctromagnetic dispersion relation of periodic slow wave structures
(©1990 American Institute of Physics, 1990-09-24)
A novel method for calculating the dispersion relation of electromagnetic modes in an arbitrary periodic slow wave structure is reported. In this method it is sufficient to know the frequencies corresponding to three special ...
