Growth Rates in Smith-Purcell FEL

Abstract

In the framework of the earlier derived dispersion equation, we study induced Smith Purcell (SP) radiation of relativistic electron beam in the absence of a resonator. We offer a new method for calculation of coefficients for partial amplitudes in the case of rectangular grating. Using this method we calculate the growth rate of the SPFEL with a rectangular grating. The growth rate dependences on harmonic number, beam current, observation angle and relativistic factor are presented.
