Doppler frequency conversion of microwaves by reflection from a relativistic beam front in a gas filled waveguide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave reflection is observed on a relativistic electron beam front propagating into a gas filled waveguide. The frequency conversion from the incident X band electromagnetic waves and the reflected Kd band signal is consistent with the value of the beam front velocity measured from time of flight using B03B8 probes. The reflection is found to occur during the current rise time. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE LETTRES TOME 38, 15 OCTOBRE 1977, Classification Physics Abstracts 41. 10H 41.80

Linear analysis of a finite length plasma-filled backward wave oscillator
Absolute instability in a plasma-filled backward wave oscillator with sinusoidally corrugated slow wave structure driven by an intense relativistic electron beam has been analyzed numerically. The maximum spatial growth rate of the plasma-filled waveguide is found to be larger than that of an optimally designed vacuum structure. The excitation of a finite length structure is investigated. Altho...
متن کاملRelativistic corrections in displacement measuring interferometry
Displacement measuring interferometry is based on measuring the Doppler frequency shift that a beam of radiation undergoes upon reflection off a mirror connected to a moving stage. Usually the velocity of the reflecting stage is very small compared to the speed of light and is therefore deduced using the classical expression for the Doppler shift. We calculate relativistic corrections to the Do...
متن کاملGeneration of Coherent, Broadband X-Ray and Mid-IR Pulses in a Noble-Gas-Filled Hollow Waveguide
We discuss a proposed experiment on guiding of a high-repetition rate, 20 GW, CO2 laser beam in a gas-filled hollow glass waveguide. Extended interaction of the 3ps pulses with a gas Kerr medium will be used for measurements of nonlinearity at 10 um, and supercontinuum generation followed by pulse compression. Feasibility of 3-5 keV X-ray production via HHG is presented.
متن کاملFrequency Upshifting and Pulse Compression via Underdense Relativistic Ionization Fronts
When pulse of electromagnetic radiation impinges upon a moving plasmalneutral gas boundary, i.e., an ionization front, its frequency and duration are altered. The largest frequency upshifts and pulse compressions are obtained when radiation is incident on an ionization front moving at close to the speed of light. Such an ionization front is created when a short laser pulse photo-ionizes a gas t...

The generation of coherent Terahertz (THz) radiation is studied which is produced from moving the relativistic electron beam through a helical wiggler with axial magnetic field. The relativistic electron beam is modulated via interacts with the beat wave of two laser beams that have frequency difference in THz range. When the modulated relativistic beam of electrons go through the helical wiggl...
