High Power Submillimeter and Infrared Radiation from Intense Relativistic Electron Beams.

Abstract

The first quarter of Calendar 1980 was spent installing and testing the newly acquired long-pulse well-regulated Physics International Pulserad 220 unit (1 Mev. 20 KA 100 nsec). The balance of the year was spent on the first phase of the FEL long pulse oscillator experiment and the beginnings of an investigation of the FEL amplifier. Wavelength and power were measured as a function of electron energy and current. Theoretical work included an exact analysis of particle dynamics in a true wiggler and the formulation of a simulation of a pump oscillated test particle in a plasma background, the latter study yielding new insights into finite Larmor radius effects.
