Abstract

The simulation and design of an oversized, two-dimensional, periodic surface lattice (2D PSL) interaction cavity used within a 0.395 THz, pulsed radiation source is presented. Powerful, pulsed radiation with good spectral purity is demonstrated. The device is well-suited for use in DNP-NMR spectroscopy and has numerous other applications due to the scalability of the interaction cavity allowing for radiation output at different frequencies. The device exploits the coupling of volume and surface fields in the 2D PSL interaction cavity to excite a single cavity eigenmode. The observed output power is 13.5kW and the efficiency of the device is 27%
