Abstract
New concepts to generate extremely high output power with ultrashort pulse duration are developed. At first, an oversized coaxial Cherenkov generator with a profiled and extended slow wave structure is used to generate a time-frequency-modulated pulse with power of several tens of GW and duration of several nanoseconds. Then this time-frequency-modulated pulse can be compressed into a sub-nanosecond pulse with power exceeding 100 GW via a circular waveguide compressor after mode conversion. As an example, particle-in-cell simulation demonstrates that a pulse is obtained with power of 35 GW, duration of 3.0 ns, and frequency sweeping from 8.9 GHz to 11.0 GHz almost linearly. Injecting this pulse into a circular waveguide as TE$_{\mathbf {{01}}}$ mode, it can be compressed into an ultrashort pulse with power of 168 GW and duration of 0.45 ns. Compared with previous method of producing superradiance pulse directly, the beam-wave interaction in the generator is not so highly unstable, and thus the whole system is more reliable and controllable.
