Electromagnetic waves with frequencies from 0.1 THz to 10 THz (usually called the Terahertz gap) are of great importance for a number of scientific and practical applications. Different techniques are known allowing generating these frequencies. However, a current trend of physics and industry is to fill this gap with more powerful and efficient sources. For example, recent experiments have shown promising THz generation in dielectric loaded structures*. Developing this area, we consider the THz emitting scheme where an ultrarelativistic charge exits the open end of a cylindrical waveguide with a dielectric layer and produces THz waves in a form of Cherenkov radiation. The end of the waveguide is supposed to be either orthogonal to the structure axis or skewed. To obtain THz frequencies from waveguides with centimeter or millimeter radii, we consider high order modes. We present typical field patterns (in the Fraunhofer zone) and show that the aperture of the vacuum channel gives, as a rule, the main contribution. We also give simple expressions for the angle of the main pattern lobe.

Microwave waveguides can in principle be used for undulators with periods less than 1 cm. Intensive work has been done on the recently proposed design that operates at the HE11 hybrid mode of a corrugated waveguide; successful experimental results have been reported recently [S.Tantawi Talk at POSIPOL 2012]. In this presentation we propose a beam driven design for an undulator based on an electron bunch train powering a microwave or mm waveguide. The drive bunch train propagates towards the undulating beam inside a dielectric loaded structure or corrugated waveguide generating high power RF. The “smart” waveguide design and a proper bunch spacing of the electron drive beam train provide single mode generation of the high magnitude undulating field that gives an undulator parameter in the range of K~1 for a high frequency device.*
