Terahertz (THz) Source is a key part during THz wave application, and developing novel mechanisms for improvements of THz performances are very important. With the support of national nature science foundation of China, the THz coherent Smith-Purcell radiation emitted by high brightness picosecond (ps) ultra-short electron beam is studied. The research papers of 30 articles are published, in which 7 articles are indexed by SCI and 15 articles are indexed by EI. The main achievements are listed as following:(1) The experiment system for synchronous measuring THz power and frequency is set up at the first time;(2) The experiment of emitted THz wave produced by ultra-short electron beam is performed at the first in China;(3) The improvement of THz SP radiation enhanced by two-section grating is presented and verified. The base on cascade beam-wave interaction system constituted by traveling and backward high frequency structure (HFS) is presented in this project, the mechanism researches of cascade extended interaction device driven by two electron beams will be conducted. The physical mechanisms of THz wave generating from backward HFS and amplified in traveling HFS are to be studied. In this project, the linear and nonlinear theoretical analyzes of beam-wave interaction of circular electron beam with cascade HFS will be studied. The varied parameters of HFS, electron beams and coupling equipment effect on output characteristics are researched. Moreover, the high frequency cold test and principle tube experiments are developed. Through this study, we should hold the key technologies of developing width band and compact THz electron device. On the other hand, we can provide the theoretical and technological supports for developing integrated THz vacuum device.
