Self-modulation regimes of generation in a powerful 10-micros X-band backward-wave oscillator were studied theoretically and experimentally. The sequence of the self-modulation patterns and corresponding bifurcation values observed as the current was increased were in good agreement with the results of simulations. It was found that at a current of 120 A chaotic self-modulation set in at a power of 2 MW and a relative spectral width of 4%.

A ridge-loaded staggered double-vane slow-wave structure is proposed for terahertz radiation sources employing a sheet electron beam. This slow-wave structure has the advantages of enhanced electric field and energy density distribution and improved interaction impedance in the beam-wave interaction region. High-frequency characteristics are investigated for the proposed slow wave structure and compared with those of the staggered double-vane slow wave structure.

The modulation enables velocity matching and efficient interactions between low-energy electrons and co-propagating photons. Specifically, we design a subwavelength-grating (SWG) waveguide for interactions between 23-keV free electrons and ≈1500-nm photons.

The Tesla-type pulsed power generator based on transformer oil is limited by volume and weight, which affects its suitability for mobile platforms. In this paper, a double-width pulse forming line (PFL) based on high-energy-density liquid medium Midel 7131 was designed, and a compact, high-repetitive pulsed power generator was developed. The structural and electrical parameters of the PFL with an outer diameter of 1000 mm were optimized to achieve the highest output power with a fixed load impedance of 60 Ω.

The unique properties of BWOPOs eliminate the need for additional spectral narrowing or wavelength stabilization, enabling the use of a multi-longitudinal mode Q-switched pump laser centered around 1030 nm.

We present a data-driven reduced-order modeling of the space-charge dynamics for electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EMPIC) plasma simulations based on dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). The dynamics of the charged particles in kinetic plasma simulations such as EMPIC is manifested through the plasma current density defined along the edges of the spatial mesh. We showcase the efficacy of DMD in modeling the time evolution of current density through a low-dimensional feature space.
