Sub-THz and THz Cherenkov radiation source with two-dimensional periodic surface lattice and multistage depressed collector

Abstract We present the theory, concept and design of an efficient, megawatt coherent Cherenkov radiation source based on a two-dimensional periodic surface lattice (2D-PSL) cavity combined with a novel energy recovery system for the generation of highly efficient (> 50%) single-frequency radiati...
