研究目的
To investigate and optimize the design of 2-D photonic bandgap dielectric structures for terahertz-driven linear electron acceleration, focusing on maximizing the photonic bandgap width for broadband pulse propagation and achieving a strong beam-wave interaction at the synchronism central frequency.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that photonic-crystal-based waveguides can be optimized for THz-driven electron acceleration, offering a compromise between acceleration bandwidth and beam-wave interaction strength. Despite lower accelerating voltages compared to dielectric-lined waveguides, PBG-Ws provide significant reductions in magnetic fields on the walls and resistive losses, making them a promising design for future THz acceleration technologies.
研究不足
The study is limited by the sensitivity of the structures to mesh imperfections in simulations, the trade-off between photonic bandgap width and group velocity, and the current state of THz pulse generation technology which limits the available pulse energy.
