Strong electron density modulation with a low-power THz source for generating THz superradiant undulator radiation

We propose a scheme to modulate a low-emittance electron beam at THz frequency using a low-power optical THz source (seed). In this scheme, a matching section introduces tunable angular dispersion and focusing to the electrons. It helps to slice the electrons into “energy layers” and largely cancels...
