Abstract

We study the evolution of the optical pulse in a Cherenkov free electron laser (C-FEL), in which bunched electron beams interact with TM 0 n modes in a dielectric slab waveguide. A new derivation of the pulse propagation equation for the C-FEL is presented and the results of a numerical simulation are discussed. Using the parameters of an ENEA experiment, we study the anti-lethargy and other pulse propagation effects characteristic in the C-FEL.
