The amplification of an electromagnetic wave by net stimulated bremsstrahlung (the emission by stimulated bremsstrahlung minus the absorption by inverse bremsstrahlung) injected into a non-relativistic dilute electron beam travelling in a uniform magnetic field is considered. The d.c. ponderomotive force by net stimulated emission is calculated by using quantum kinetics. From the calculated ponderomotive force, the amplification of the intensity of the electromagnetic wave by the net stimulated bremsstrahlung is derived as a function of the relevant parameters of the electromagnetic wave and the electron beam. It is found that masing is possible when the perpendicular temperature of the electron beam is greater than its parallel temperature. It is shown that the efficiency of a practical gyrotron cannot be explained by the phase-bunching concept, and that simulated bremsstrahlung has nothing to do with any phase bunching.

AbstractThe effects of a radiation field (RF) on the interaction process of a relativistic electron beam (REB) with an electron plasma are investigated. The stopping power of the test electron averaged with a period of the RF has been calculated assuming an underdense plasma, ω0 > ωp, where ω0is the frequency of the RF and ωpis the plasma frequency. In order to highlight the effect of the radiation field we present a comparison of our analytical and numerical results obtained for nonzero RF with those for vanishing RF. In particular, it has been shown that the weak RF increases the mean energy loss for small angles between the velocity of the REB and the direction of polarization of the RF while decreasing it at large angles. Furthermore, the relative deviation of the energy loss from the field-free value is strongly reduced with increasing the beam energy. Special case of the parallel orientation of the polarization of the RF with respect to the beam velocity has been also considered. At high-intensities of the RF two extreme regimes have been distinguished when the excited harmonics cancel effectively each other reducing strongly the energy loss or increasing it due to the constructive interference. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the energy loss of the ultrarelativistic electron beam increases systematically with the intensity of the RF exceeding essentially the field-free value.
