Superradiant emission of Smith-Purcell radiation
Smith-Purcell (SP) radiation is emitted when an electron passes close to the surface of a metallic grating. The radiation becomes coherent (fluence proportional to the square of the number of electrons) when the electrons are in bunches whose dimensions are smaller than the wavelength of the radiati...
