Abstract

An amplifier based on a high-power free-electron planar laser operating at a wavelength of 4 mm is simulated. The system is built around the U-3 accelerator, which forms a ribbon relativistic electron beam with an energy of up to 1 MeV and a total operating current of up to 2 kA. The simulation uses various approaches, including the direct numerical simulation of the Maxwell equations and particle motion equations by means of the PIC-code KARAT. The approaches are shown to give close results.
