Researchers generated high-power terahertz (THz) light using relativistic electrons. This new light source achieves approximately 100 W in the 0.1–3 THz band, with potential extensions to 6 THz.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Electromagnetism
  • Particle Accelerators

Background:

  • Electromagnetic waves are produced by accelerating electrons.
  • Relativistic electrons exhibit enhanced light emission proportional to the fourth power of their mass increase.
  • Previous methods limited the power and bandwidth of generated terahertz (THz) light.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generate high-power broadband THz light using relativistic electrons.
  • To demonstrate the capabilities of a new generation of electron light source.
  • To explore the potential for extending THz light generation to higher frequencies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized relativistic electrons in a novel light source design.
  • Employed electron bunches that circulate once with energy recovery.
