Abstract

Intense coherent radiation is obtained from multiple electron beams monochromatically bunched over the wide higher-order-mode (HOM) spectral band in the THz regime. The overmoded waveguide corrugated by dielectric-implanted staggered gratings superimposes evanescent waves emitted from the low energy electron beams. The dispersion and transmission simulations of the three-beam slow wave structure show that the first two fundamental modes (TE10 and TE20) are considerably suppressed (∼−50 dB) below the multi-beam resonating mode (TE30) at the THz regime (0.8–1.24 THz). The theoretical calculations and particle-in-cell simulations show that with significantly higher interaction impedance and power growth rate radiation of the TE30 mode is ∼23 dBm and ∼50 dBm stronger than the TE10 and TE20 modes around 1 THz, respectively. This highly selective HOM multi-beam interaction has potential applications for power THz sources and high intensity accelerators.
