Internal Smith-Purcell radiation and its interplay with Cherenkov diffraction radiation in silicon -- a combined time and frequency domain numerical study

Optics 2021-05-18 v1 Accelerator Physics

Abstract

We consider radiation generated by an electron travelling parallel to a planar rectangular silicon grating: Smith-Purcell radiation to the vacuum side, internal Smith-Purcell radiation into the dielectric, and Cherenkov radiation into the dielectric. Internal Smith-Purcell radiation dominates over the other two radiation mechanisms in the range where conventional Smith-Purcell radiation is forbidden. This observation may lead to improved design of contactless particle beam monitors.
