Abstract

This paper describes results of studies on application of high current (1-10 kA) relativistic electron beams to generate millimeter and subterahertz (sub-THz) radiation in two ways. The first one is realized at the ELMI-device where the scheme of a free electron maser (FEM) with a sheet electron beam is applied for the case of a planar two-beam-channel geometry. The second way is based on emission of sub-THz radiation from plasmas with turbulence induced by a strong relativistic electron beam. These experiments are carried out at the GOL-3 facility. We present experimental results obtained at these two devices and briefly describe their theoretical analysis.
