Optical harmonic radiation from an electron beam using the stimulated Cerenkov interaction

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Recent experiments1,2 have demonstrated the stimulated Cerenkov interaction as a possible means to achieve bunching of a relativistic electron beam at optical wavelengths by using a laser beam to momentum modulate the electrons in a phase-matching medium such as a gas. The bunched electron beam then emits coherent Cerenkov radiation at the harmonics of the laser frequency.3
