Cherenkov radiation due to the passage of an oscillatory dipole moving parallel to a conducting barrier
The Cherenkov radiation emitted by an oscillating dipole moving in a semi-infinite dielectric with a constant velocity along a straight line parallel to the conducting boundary is calculated by using Maxwell's equations. The wave nature of electromagnetic intensities reveals that waves propagate in two modes, and the radiation takes place in the form of two cones which are semicircular in section, the axes of the cones coinciding wiih the path of the dipole. Conditions for the existence of only one cone are given. The intensity of radiation fluctuates spatially. The conducting boundary acts as a promoter and plays an important role in the graduation of energy loss which is technically important for concentration of radiation. (RWR)
