Abstract

This paper presents a possible method to produce beam bunching and obtain coherent Terahertz (THz) Smith–Purcell (SP) radiation. A model of two-section rectangular grating is proposed. In the first section with a flat conducting roof, a continuous beam is bunched by using an 88.5 GHz input signal. In the second section without metal roof, the coherent THz SP radiation is stimulated by the bunched beam interacting with the grating. The particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations show that the beam is bunched at the downstream of the first section. The strongest radiation is observed at 120° with the frequency of 266.5 GHz in the second section.
