研究目的
To propose and investigate a quantum regime for Cherenkov free-electron laser (CFEL) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in dielectric and multilayer graphene waveguides, focusing on conditions where momentum spread is smaller than photon recoil.
研究成果
The quantum regime for CFEL and SPPs is achievable at low electron beam energies (<40 keV) and near-infrared wavelengths (<5 μm), with feasibility enhanced by increasing graphene layers and chemical potential for SPPs; it offers extremely narrow emission spectra but lower power compared to classical regimes.
研究不足
Assumes momentum spread is solely due to finite interaction length, neglecting effects of energy spread, beam emittance, and space charges; practical constraints on electron beam parameters (e.g., low emittance and energy spread required) may limit experimental feasibility.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a theoretical quantum mechanical treatment to derive gain expressions for Cherenkov radiation and SPPs, assuming finite interaction length as the primary cause of momentum spread.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
No physical samples; theoretical analysis based on parameters such as electron beam energy, interaction length, dielectric constants, and graphene properties.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not applicable as it is a theoretical paper; no specific equipment mentioned.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Involves deriving dispersion relations for waveguides (e.g., Eq. (6) for SPPs, Eq. (8) for CFEL), calculating quantum parameter ρc, and analyzing its dependence on variables like number of graphene layers, chemical potential, and beam energy.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Numerical evaluation of ρc using derived equations, plotting relationships (e.g., ρc vs. N or μc), and assessing conditions for quantum regime (ρc ≤ 1).
