LIGHT BY AN ELECTRON BEAM.
Abstract
Output radiance from a Salisbury Effect Device was measured from 0.62 micron to 2.4 microns. The 'Salisbury Effect' refers to a method of electromagnetic energy generation by the passage of an electron beam over a metallic diffraction grating. Measured output radiance values were on the order of two microwatts/sq cm-steradian, and measured bandwidths ranged from 0.03 to 0.19 micron, although there is evidence that much narrower bandwidths could be obtained with minor modifications. Harmonic as well as fundamental measurements are given, and the various related theories are discussed. (Author)
