Efficiency Enhancement in a Pre-Bunched Cerenkov Free Electron Laser

Abstract

An electron beam passing through a slow wave structure is unstable to an electromagnetic perturbation whose phase velocity equals the velocity of the beam. This phenomenon of cerenkov emission is the basis of all slow wave devices. The Cerenkov free electron laser (CFEL) model under consideration consists of a pre-bunched relativistic electron beam and a dielectric loaded waveguide. The increase in the growth rate and gain by using a pre-bunched electron beam in a Cerenkov free electron laser (CFEL) has been studied. The growth rate and gain is calculated at experimentally known CFEL and FEL parameters and it is seen that beam pre-bunching on Cerenkov free electron laser (CFEL) offers considerable enhancement in gain and efficiency when the phase of the pre-bunching electron beam is   / 2 , i.e., when the pre-bunched beam is in the retarding zone. Moreover, the growth rate and gain of the CFEL is found to increase with the modulation index and reaches maximum when the modulation index approaching unity in addition to the frequency and wave number of the pre-bunched beam are comparable to that of the radiation wave, i.e., when the pre-bunched beam velocity is comparable to the phase velocity of the radiation wave.
