Abstract :
The authors address the problem of phase and amplitude stability of the RF pulse and present a technique for improving it in high-power, short-pulsed free-electron lasers and relativistic klystrons to a level that is acceptable for accelerator applications. They summarize the results of bench tests and computer simulations, and discuss a proposed high-power klystron experiment aimed at establishing the feasibility of the overall concept and the workability of the stabilization circuits.<>
