In the development of compact terahertz radiation source, a table-top Cherenkov free-electron laser is proposed. The simplified model is consisted of a double-slap device, including a rectangular waveguide partially filled with two lined parellel dielectric slabs, driven by a 50 keV electron beam. The dispersion relation of such a model is investigated theoretically and the dispersion equation is solved numerically. With the help of a particle-in-cell simulation code, the mechanism of beam-wave interaction is carefully analized. According to those simulation results, we found the optimum parameters for this kind of device to operate at the terahertz wave region.

A sidewall grating for the Smith-Purcell device is proposed to enhance the coupling of the optical mode with the electron beam and consequently relax the stringent requirements to the electron beam. With the help of three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, it has been shown that, comparing with the general grating the usage of a sidewall grating improves the growth rate and dramatically shortens the time for the device to reach saturation. The transverse profile of the electric field is also addressed.
