Application of Stimulated Electromagnetic Shock Radiation (SESR) to the Generation of Intense Submillimeter and FAR Infrared Waves

The excitation of intense, tunable submillimeter and far infrared waves by the interaction, through the mechanism described in the preceding paper (1), of microwave and infrared sources with relativistic electron beams in frequency-dispersive media is discussed. The possibility of using artificial dielectrics (spatially dispersive polarizability) is then described.
