摘要
The lasing of a Van de Graaff electrostatic accelerator-free-electron laser (EA-FEL) with an internal cavity is reported. An EA-FEL employing an internal cavity is a FEL configuration that has a potential to operate at high average power, high frequency, and possibly in a continuous wave (cw) mode. The initial lasing provided a pulsed radiation power of 1 kW at 100.5 GHz frequency. The FEL operated with a 1.4 A, 1.4 MeV electron beam in a recirculation (depressed collector) configuration. It utilizes a high quality (Q approximate to 30 000) Talbot effect resonator and a Halbach-type wiggler placed internally in the center of the accelerator tank. Nonlinear features of the oscillation power buildup and decay near saturation and mode hopping were observed and are interpreted. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(97)03952-1].
