Conclusions
-
1)
The synchrotron-radiation spectrum of a cluster of relativistic electrons moving in the field of a synchronous wave consists of lines and pedestal peaks at comparatively low energies. The line frequencies and those of the central peaks are harmonics of the synchronous-wave frequency. This permits us to relate the frequencies of radio and IR oscillators.
-
2)
The line phase is governed by the phase of the synchronous wave; the radiation phase of the pedestal is random; and the peak width is of the order of 1–1000 kHz.
-
3)
With multiplication by a factor of 103, the frequencies of radio and IR oscillators may be compared with an accuracy of ∼10−12.
