Hsu, J Y

A source is described of coherent radiation in the infrared, visible light and ultraviolet frequency range comprising: an evaluated drift tube having an input end for receiving a beam of relativistic electrons and an output end for providing coherent radiation; electron supply means for providing a beam of relativistic electrons to the drift tube input end; magnetic field means for causing the relativistic electrons spiral; azimuthal wiggler means for causing the spiraling electrons to undergo accelerations; the magnetic field means also controls the gyroradii of the spiraling electrons acted upon by the wiggler means.
