To analyze the problem, a two-dimensional (2-D) model of the Smith-Purcell FEL is considered. The model consists of a planar relativistic electron beam and a parallel plate metallic waveguide, which has a uniform grating carved on one plate. For confinement and extraction of EM waves, a Bragg cavity is formed by a couple of reflector gratings with proper spatial period and length, which are connected at both ends of the waveguide. The results of numerical simulation show that a compact Smith-Purcell FEL can be realized by using a Bragg cavity composed of metallic gratings., application/pdf}, pages = {2094--2100}, title = {A Compact Smith-Purcell Free-Electron Laser with a Bragg Cavity}, volume = {E82-C}, year = {1999} }
