研究目的
To discuss the usage of slow electromagnetic waves in several application domains, including the generation of electromagnetic waves by the Cerenkov effect, the Cerenkov free-electron laser, pickup and kickers in accelerators, pulse compression in radar and linac, and compact components and waveguides in the microwave region.
研究成果
The chapter reports some applications of the interaction of slow electromagnetic waves with dielectric or corrugated media. The thread through the chapter is the possibility of generating electromagnetic waves from traveling particles in the considered medium or, vice versa, the possibility to influence the motion of particles. An extension of this approach is the possibility of compressing the fields for applications in radars and linacs or to think about microwave devices and antennas of reduced dimensions for integration in the active circuits.
