Paper describes main features of a project on two-stage generation of submillimeter radiation at the ELMI device. This novel variant of a two-stage scheme based on stimulated intercavity scattering was proposed earlier in the paper*. In accordance with the scheme, at the first stage a sheet electron beam drives a 2D Bragg free electron maser (FEM) of planar geometry to generate 4-mm pump wave. At the second stage this wave undergoes stimulated scattering at the supplementary electron beam to produce submillimeter radiation. A key feature of a proposed scheme is to use two sheet beams with a few kiloampers currents that transported in parallel channels, which are connected by a special waveguide* for synchronization of beam radiation in different channels**. Production of two sheet beams by one accelerator diode with two cathodes is also similar to the process of operation of the multibeam diode described in Ref.**. Two-stage scheme allows us to use high power 4-mm radiation produced in the first channel by the sheet beam moving in an undulator quasi-static magnetic field, as an EM-undulator for the secondary stage FEL operating in Terahertz wave range. In the paper we describe results of theoretical and experimental investigations of various aspects of the two-stage scheme and some testing experiments on units for realization of this scheme at the ELMI device.
