Figure 7
THz wave forms generated by electron beams in dielectric tubes. The parameters of the tubes correspond to the impedance plots shown in Fig. 3. For the top plot (0.1 THz) a bunch charge of 1 nC is assumed. The pulse amplitude is modulated by the higher harmonics of the structure which are included in this numerical result. The pulse length of 1000 ps corresponds to 66 cm structure length. At 6.6 THz (middle) the pulse is strongly damped and decays with an exponential decay time of about 0.6 ps. Here a bunch charge of 0.5 nC is assumed. The bottom plot shows the 15 THz case with a charge of 0.25 nC. The pulse decays with about 150 fs decay time. |
