Abstract
Equilibrium bunch lengths typical to modern day light sources of tens of picoseconds limit the spectral reach of superradiant approaches for exploring materials and biological samples. In particular, generation of terahertz radiation seems appealing for pump-probe experiments.Taking advantage of self-wakes generated by carefully chosen structure one can control the bunch length and shape the bunch profile to increase significantly the high-frequency spectral components. Numerical analysis indicates the presence of self-consistent steady states that can be obtained with passive corrugated or dielectric structures. This approach has potential applications for generating superradiant terahertz radiation and pulse shaping in circular accelerators.
