| Summary: | We analyze the narrowband terahertz emission process occurring from electron bunches passing in a bending magnet, after a laser-induced sinusoidal modulation has been performed. In particular, we focus on experimental tunability curves, and power scalings with current and laser power. Theoretically, we simplify the problem formulation using the slowly varying envelope approximation. At low powers, the scaling with laser power appears to be quadratic, and analytical expressions for the tuning curves are obtained. Emission at first passage in the bending magnet, and after one full turn in the storage ring, are considered both experimentally and theoretically. The experiments are performed on the UVSOR-II storage ring.
