Oscillator and amplifier cyclotron-resonance-maser (CRM) experiments in a spiral bifilar waveguide are presented in this paper. The slow-wave CRM device employs a low-energy low-current electron beam (2-12 keV, approximately 0.5 A). The pitch angle of the helical waveguide is relatively small; hence, the phase velocity in this waveguide, V(ph) congruent with0.8c (where c is the speed of light),...

In this Article dispersion characteristic of conventional optical waveguide with helical winding at core – cladding interface has been obtained. The model dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding at core-cladding interface have been obtained for five different pitch angles. This paper includes dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding, and ...

An electron beam (e-beam) prebunched at the synchronous FEM frequency and traversing through a waveguide, located coaxially with a magnetic undulator, emits coherent radiation at the bunching frequency. Introduction of both a premodulated e-beam and a radio-frequency (r.f.) signal at the same frequency at the input of the waveguide can lead to more efficient interaction, and thus more power can...

Experiments are reported on inverse free-electron-laser acceleration, including for the first time observations of the energy change as a function of relative injection phase of the electron bunches. The microwave accelerating structure consists of a uniform circular waveguide with a helical wiggler and an axial magnetic field. Acceleration of the entire beam by 6% is seen for 6 MeV electron bu...

Cerenkov wake amplification can be used as an accelerating scheme, in which a trigger bunch of electrons propagating inside a cylindrical waveguide filled with an active medium generates an initial wake field. Due to the multiple reflections inside the waveguide, the wake may be amplified significantly more strongly than when propagating in a boundless medium. Sufficiently far away from the tri...

The introduction of a plasma and a strong guide magnetic field in a free electron laser (FEL) slows down the phase velocity of radiation, significantly reducing the requirements on beam energy for generating frequencies below the electron-cyclotron frequency (oi, < oj,). Around plasma resonance (cu, ~ wp), the FEL mode couples to two-stream instability (TSI), attaining a large growth rate, comp...

In this paper, we review the current status of nanoelectronic devices based on quantum effects such as quantization of motion and interference, and those based on single electron charging phenomena in ultrasmall structures. In the first part, we discuss wave-behavior in quantum semiconductor structures, and several device structures based on quantum waveguide behavior such as stub tuners, Y-bra...

The analytical and numerical calculations for the dynamic of single electron and beam in RF undulator have been conducted and compared. The transverse and longitudinal velocity, trajectory, energy variation, and the spontaneous radiation are studied. It is found that the forward and backward wave (FW/BW) components have different contribution on electron motion and radiation, most of the energy...

We present a small network for the testing of the entanglement of two ballistic electron waveguide qubits. The network produces different output conditional on the presence or absence of entanglement. The structure of the network allows for the determination of successful entanglement operations through the measurement of the output of a single qubit. We also present a simple model of a dynamic...

We apply direct electron beam writing to fabricate corrugated sidewall Bragg gratings in polymer waveguides and demonstrate multi-channel passband filters based on a phase-shifted design. Experimental results are compared with numerical fittings to analyze the impact of signal polarization and waveguide cladding material upon device performance.
