Collective and single-electron interactions of electron beams with electromagnetic waves, and free-electron lasers

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple comprehensive model is developed to describe electron-beam interaction with an electromagnetic wave in periodic electromagnetic structures, which is general enough to describe both collective and single-electron modes of interaction and quantum mechanical, classical and Fermi degenerate regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffraction of Gaussian Laser Beams by a Semi-Infinite Plane

TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental aspects of the diffraction of gaussian laser beams by the straight edge bounding an opaque plane are investigated in this article, based upon the Kirchhoff scalar wave theory in the Fresnel limit.

Wavelength selective optical routers

TL;DR: Using the wavelength selectivity and low loss characteristics of optical couplers, in which index of refraction gratings in a non-evanescent waveguide merged region reflect only a selected wavelength band, signal switching and control systems of novel characteristics are provided for multi-wavelength optical communication systems as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coupled-waves approach to the design and analysis of Bragg and photonic crystal annular resonators

TL;DR: In this article, a coupled-wave approach was used to design and analyze various types of annular resonators based on Bragg and photonic crystal reflectors, and optimal grating profiles and their corresponding modal fields were found for specific cases such as disk and defect mode (ring) resonators.
