Abstract

The recently uncovered special Smith-Purcell radiation (S-SPR) from the rectangular grating has significantly higher intensity than the ordinary Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR). Its monochromaticity and directivity are also much better. Here we explored the mechanism of the S-SPR by applying the fundamental electromagnetic theory and simulations. We have confirmed that the S-SPR is exactly from the radiating eigen modes of the grating. Its frequency and direction are well correlated with the beam velocity and structure parameters, which indicates its promising applications in tunable wave generation and beam diagnostic.

Investigation on the special Smith-Purcell radiation from a nano-scale rectangular metallic grating

Journal Article Li, Weiwei ; Liu, Weihao ; Jia, Qika - AIP Advances

The special Smith-Purcell radiation (S-SPR), which is from the radiating eigen modes of a grating, has remarkable higher intensity than the ordinary Smith-Purcell radiation. Yet in previous studies, the gratings were treated as perfect conductor without considering the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) which are of significance for the nano-scale gratings especially in the optical region. In present paper, the rigorous theoretical investigations on the S-SPR from a nano-grating with SPPs taken into consideration are carried out. The dispersion relations and radiation characteristics are obtained, and the results are verified by simulations. According to the analyses, the tunable light radiation canmore »« less

Time- and frequency-domain models for Smith-Purcell radiation from a two-dimensional charge moving above a finite length grating

Journal Article Kesar, Amit S ; Hess, Mark ; Korbly, Stephen E ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics

Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR), formed by an electron beam traveling above a grating, is a very promising source of coherent radiation from the THz to the optical regime. We present two theoretical calculations of the SPR from a two-dimensional bunch of relativistic electrons passing above a grating of finite length. The first calculation uses the finite-difference time-domain approach with the total-field/scattered-field procedure for fields incident on the grating. This calculation allows good physical insight into the radiation process and also allows arbitrary geometries to be treated. The second calculation uses an electric-field integral equation method. Good agreement is obtained between thesemore »« less

Smith-Purcell free-electron laser

Conference Woods, K J ; Walsh, J E

The term Smith-Purcell free electron laser can be employed generally to describe any coherent radiation source in which a diffraction grating is used to couple an electron beam with the electromagnetic field. To date, most practical developments of this concept have focused on devices which operate in the millimeter spectral regime. In this paper construction of a Smith-Purcell free-electron laser operating in the far-infrared (FIR) region using a novel resonator cavity design and the electron beam from a low energy (0.5-5 MeV) radio-frequency accelerator will be discussed. A tunable source in this region would have many applications and since themore »« less

Numerical simulation of Smith-Purcell free-electron lasers.

Conference Kumar, V ; Kim, K -J ; Accelerator Systems Division

We present a one-dimensional time-dependent analysis and simulation of Smith-Purcell (SP) free-electron lasers (FELs). The coupled Maxwell-Lorentz equations are set up, and the details of numerical simulation are presented. At low electron beam energy, a SP-FEL is a backward wave oscillator (BWO), and oscillations can be achieved without the need for feedback mirrors. In the linear regime, we show that the optical power grows exponentially if the current is larger than a certain value, the start current. Results of our numerical calculation compare well with the analytic calculation in the linear regime and show saturation behavior in the nonlinear regime.more »« less
Dispersion characteristics of planar grating with arbitrary grooves for terahertz Smith-Purcell radiation

Journal Article Cao, Miaomiao ; Li, Ke ; University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049 ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

In this paper, a novel method of getting the dispersion relations in planar grating with arbitrary grooves for terahertz Smith-Purcell radiation is investigated analytically. The continuous profile of the groove is approximately replaced by a series of rectangular steps. By making use of field matches method and the continuity of transverse admittance, the universal dispersion equation for grating with arbitrarily shaped grooves is derived. By solving the dispersion equation in presence of electron beam, the growth rate is obtained directly and the dependence on beam parameters is analyzed. Comparisons of the dispersion characteristics among some special groove shapes have beenmore »« less
