Enhancement-limit of Smith–Purcell radiation with self-bunched keV-order electron beam

We studied enhanced Smith–Purcell (SP) radiation produced by a self-bunched keV-order electron beam based on a W-band surface-wave oscillator. The self-bunched beam is generated in the process of the beam interaction with the surface-wave mode. The bunched beam contains the second harmonic of the surface wave that enhances the SP radiation. The observed radiation shows that the enhancement is limited when the interaction transitions from the Compton regime to the Raman regime.We studied enhanced Smith–Purcell (SP) radiation produced by a self-bunched keV-order electron beam based on a W-band surface-wave oscillator.
