Radiation of Charge Moving along Face of Inverted Prism

Cherenkov radiation (CR) generated by a charge moving along one of the faces of a dielectric prism is analyzed. Unlike our previous papers, here we suppose that the charge moves from the the prism ``nose'' to its base. For CR analysis, we use the technique described in our previous papers and called the ``aperture method''. However, here we develop a new version of this technique which is suitable for objects with plane faces: it utilizes field expansion only over plane waves inside the object. This approach is especially convenient for objects having two or more plane interfaces on which the waves are reflected and/or refracted. Using this technique, we obtain the electromagnetic field distribution over the aperture and then apply Stratton-Chu formulas (aperture integrals). Further, the main attention is paid to the calculation of the radiation field in the Fraunhofer (far-field) area. It is notable that we obtain expressions for corresponding Fourier transforms in the form of single integrals. Using them, the series of typical angular diagrams are computed and physical conclusions are made.

Cherenkov Radiation from a Hollow Conical Targets: Off-Axis Charge Motion

Cherenkov radiation (CR) generated by a charge moving through a hollow conical target made of dielectric material is analyzed. We consider two cases: the charge moves from the base of the cone to its top (``straight'' cone) or from the top to the base (``inverted'' cone). Unlike previous papers, a nonzero shift of the charge trajectory from the symmetry axis is taken into account which leads to generation of asymmetric CR. The most interesting effect is the phenomenon of ``Cherenkov spotlight'' which has been reported earlier for axially symmetric problems. This effect allows essential enhancement of the CR intensity in the far-field region by proper selection of the target's parameters and charge velocity. Here we describe the influence of charge shift on CR far-field patterns paying the main attention to the ``Cherenkov spotlight'' regime. Influence of variation of the charge speed on this phenomenon is also investigated.

Diffraction at the Open End of Dielectric-Lined Circular Waveguide

A rigorous approach for solving canonical circular open-ended dielectric-lined waveguide diffraction problems is presented. This is continuation of our recent paper [1] where a simpler case of uniform dielectric filling has been considered. Here we deal with the case of an open-ended circular waveguide with layered dielectric filling which is closer to potential applications. The presented method uses the solution of corresponding Wiener-Hopf-Fock equation and leads to an infinite linear system for reflection coefficients (S-parameters) of the waveguide, the latter can be efficiently solved numerically using the reducing technique. As a specific example directly applicable to beam-driven radiation sources based on dielectric-lined capillaries, diffraction of a slow TM symmetrical mode at the open end of the described waveguide is considered. A series of such modes forms the wakefield (Cherenkov radiation field) generated by a charged particle bunch during its passage along the vacuum channel axis. Calculated S-parameters were compared with those obtained from COMSOL simulation and an excellent agreement was shown. This method is expected to be very convenient for analytical investigation of various electromagnetic interactions of Terahertz (THz) waves (both free and guided) and charged particle bunches with slow-wave structures prospective in context of modern beam-driven THz emitters, THz accererators and THz-based bunch manipulation and bunch diagnostic systems.

Diffraction at the Open-Ended Dielectric-Loaded Circular Waveguide: Rigorous Approach

An elegant and convenient rigorous approach for solving circular open-ended dielectric-loaded waveguide diffraction problems is presented. It uses the solution of corresponding Wiener-Hopf-Fock equation and leads to an infinite linear system for reflection coefficients (S-parameters) of the waveguide, the latter can be efficiently solved numerically using the reducing technique. As a specific example directly applicable to beam-driven radiation sources based on dielectric-lined capillaries, diffraction of a slow TM symmetrical mode at the open end of a circular waveguide with uniform dielectric filling is considered.

Cherenkov Radiation of a Charge Flying through the "Inverted" Conical Target

Radiation generated by a charge moving through a vacuum channel in a dielectric cone is analyzed. It is assumed that the charge moves through the cone from the apex side to the base side (the case of "inverted" cone). The cone size is supposed to be much larger than the wavelengths under consideration. We calculate the wave field outside the target using the "aperture method" developed in our previous papers. Contrary to the problems considered earlier, here the wave which incidences directly on the aperture is not the main wave, while the wave once reflected from the lateral surface is much more important. The general formulas for the radiation field are obtained, and the particular cases of the ray optics area and the Fraunhofer area are analyzed. Significant physical effects including the phenomenon of "Cherenkov spotlight" are discussed. In particular it is shown that this phenomenon allows reaching essential enhancement of the radiation intensity in the far-field region at certain selection of the problem parameters. Owing to the "inverted" cone geometry, this effect can be realized for arbitrary charge velocity, including the ultra relativistic case, by proper selection of the cone material and the apex angle. Typical radiation patterns in the far-field area are demonstrated.

Radiation of a Charge in Dielectric Concentrator for Cherenkov Radiation: Off-Axis Charge Motion

A theoretical investigation of radiation field produced by a charge moving through the dielectric concentrator for Cherenkov radiation is performed for the general case where a charge trajectory is shifted with respect to the target axis. The idea of dielectric target with specific profile of the outer surface was presented and investigated in our previous papers for the symmetric case. Here we show how non-symmetric field components generated in the bulk of target affect field distribution near the focus where strong concentration of the energy occurs. Possible applications of this target are discussed. This version also contains corrections (Appendix C) made after publication.

Radiation of a Charge Moving in a Wire Structure

A theoretical approach for describing the electromagnetic radiation produced by prolonged electron bunch propagating in the lattice of metallic wires of finite length is presented. This approach is based on vibrator antenna theory and involves approximate solving of Hallen's integral equation. For a single wire, it is also supposed that a wire is sufficiently thin and charge motion is relativistic. For many-wire structures, the approximation similar to kinematic approach of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) theory is additionally applied. The validity of the method is verified by numerical simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics. Possible applications of interaction between charged particle bunches and artificial wire structures are discussed.

Radiation of a Charge Exiting Open-Ended Waveguide with Dielectric Filling

We consider a semi-infinite open-ended cylindrical waveguide with uniform dielectric filling placed into collinear infinite vacuum waveguide with larger radius. Electromagnetic field produced by a point charge or Gaussian bunch moving along structure's axis from the dielectric waveguide into the vacuum one is investigated. We utilize the modified residue-calculus technique and obtain rigorous analytical solution of the problem by determining coefficients of mode excitation in each subarea of the structure. Numerical simulations in CST Particle Studio are also performed and an excellent agreement between analytical and simulated results is shown. The main attention is paid to analysis of Cherenkov radiation generated in the inner dielectric waveguide and penetrated into vacuum regions of the outer waveguide. The discussed structure can be used for generation of Terahertz radiation by modulated bunches (bunch trains) by means of high-order Cherenkov modes. In this case, numerical simulations becomes difficult while the developed analytical technique allows for efficient calculation of the radiation characteristics.
