Horn resonator boosts miniature free-electron laser power

  • 1. Department of Physics and Astronomy, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755-3528 (United States)

Description

The Dartmouth miniature grating-based free-electron laser is a benchtop device producing coherent, tunable terahertz radiation. Two resonator designs, the planar grating horn and the grating horn are described and their performance compared with the simple planar grating case. The grating horn increases output intensity by a factor of 100 without limiting the tuning range of the device
