Abstract
A planar generator based on a free-electron maser (FEM generator) is developed employing a relativistic sheet electron beam (0.8 MeV/1 kA/4 μs) formed by an ELMI accelerator. A hybrid two-mirror resonator consisting of a two-dimensional upstream and a one-dimensional downstream Bragg reflectors is used as the electrodynamic system. The use of two-dimensional distributed feedback implemented in the upstream Bragg structure has made it possible to achieve stable well reproducible single mode generation regime with transverse dimensions of the system of ∼25 × 2.5 wavelengths. Experiments carried out at a frequency of 75 GHz have yielded narrow-band radiation with spectrum width of ∼20 MHz in pulses with a duration of ∼100–200 ns and power of 30–50 MW.
