Numerical FDTD and PiC simulations demonstrate the successful electron wave interaction in a Cherenkov maser utilizing a cylindrical 2D PSL as a mode selective cavity. Optimization of this structure's physical properties results in the design of a cavity with 16 longitudinal periods of 1.6 mm length, 7 azimuthal variations and an unperturbed inner radius of 4 mm. In numerical simulations this design produces an output power of 300 kW with 10 % efficiency at a frequency of 103.6 GHz

Numerical 3D PIC code simulations show that Slow-Wave-Structures SWSs demonstrate excellent potential as a virtual dielectric in a Cherenkov based Backward Wave Oscillator (BWO). CST Microwave Studio confirms internal mode coupling between a volume TM 0,6 and surface HE 20,1 modes resulting in the creation of a high-Q cavity, necessary for the Cherenkov mechanism to be exploited. MAGIC 3D demonstrates output powers of ~2.5 MW within a 30 ns timeframe at W-Band frequencies (75-110) GHz. Successful numerical modeling underpins the current experimental investigation.

“…Under certain conditions, when driven by a suitable electron beam this structure can support a Cherenkov instability that provides a coherent source of electromagnetic radiation. These cylindrical 2D PSLs show potential for use in electron-beam-driven high power, coherent sources [7,[9][10][11].…”

Accepted paper (3 pages) published online by IEEE Xplore, 09 March 2017. doi: 10.1109/UCMMT.2016 1 Abstract-To rapidly prototype novel mm-wave and THz sources there is a requirement to create intricate structures to produce and radiate electromagnetic fields. The motivation for this work is to create improved electron-beam-driven, vacuum electronic mm-wave and sub-THz sources by exploiting dispersion engineering. Although such structures can be manufactured by other techniques, additive manufacturing has proven to be quick, reliable and cost-effective. This research is allowing the prototyping of novel mm-wave and sub-THz coherent sources.
