Title: Optimization of parameters of Smith-Purcell BWO.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:973760

We study the dependence of start current in Smith-Purcell backwardwave oscillator (SP-BWO) on grating parameters and electron beam parameters. The attenuation due to finite conductivity of the grating material is taken into account and three-dimensional effects are included in an approximate way in the analysis. We find that the start current can be significantly reduced by optimizing the grating parameters.
