Energy feasibility of a relativistic Compton laser
Bratman V.L., Ginzburg N.S., Petelin M.I.
On the basis of the theory of the average motion of an electron in the field of two radio-frequency waves [Α. V. Gaponov and M. A. Miller, Sov. Phys. JETP 7, 166 (1958); M. A. Miller, Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn Zaved. Radiofiz. 2, 438 (1959); Sov. Phys. JETP 9, 1358 (1959)] the starting and working currents, as well as the efficiency of the generator are calculated. The permissible velocity scatter of the electrons and the degree of incoherence of the pumping is determined. It is shown that the energy parameters of the existing high-power radiation sources and of relativistic electron beams are sufficient, in principle, to realize a hydrodynamic regime of induced Compton scattering with an apprecialbe increase of the frequency at high efficiency.
