| Summary: | The feasibility is investigated of generating ultra short wavelength radiofrequency power by the use of relativistic electron beams in conjunction with cavities operating at very high modes, and transverse magnetic fields which alternate in direction. It is found to be practical to generate coherent radiofrequency power using the type of electron beams available from linear accelerators at wavelengths as short as about 0.1 mm and with efficiencies of about 1%. Using a circulating electron beam contained in a magnetic storage ring system, it seems possible to generate coherent radiation at wavelengths as short as visible light. |
