Abstract
We propose to use the mechanism of an echo effect previously observed in hadron accelerators for up-frequency conversion of density modulation in an electron beam. We show that, for generation of high harmonics, this method is much more efficient in comparison with the currently used approach. A one-dimensional model of the effect is developed which allows us to optimize the amplitude of the modulation for a given harmonic number.Year: 2009 PMID: 19257677 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.074801
