Advanced Surface Artificial Materials for High Power Microwave Sources

Abstract

Analytical theory, combined with numerical modeling, has revealed several very promising new research routes. Recent results have highlighted the potential for higher performance 2D PSL sources using electron beams produced by advanced carbonnanotube cathodes. Exciting new research opportunities include phase locking of multiple 2D PSL oscillators, achieving superradiant 2D PSL sources and exploring the potential for powerful 2D PSL amplifiers. Accomplishing these goals would deliver world firsts and produce record output power levels.
