First experimental observations are reported on stimulated coherent synchrotron radiation from highly relativistic electrons in a strong magnetic field. The experiment employed a quasioptical millimeter-wave resonator and a 6-MeV electron beam gyrating in a field of up to 25 kG. Coherent radiation at 54 GHz, corresponding to the 11th gyroharmonic, was observed and characterized. These observations demonstrate the possibility of a synchrotron resonance maser.
首次报道了关于强磁场中高相对论性电子受激相干同步辐射的实验观测结果。该实验采用了一个准光学毫米波谐振器和一束在高达25千高斯磁场中回旋的6兆电子伏特电子束。观测到并对对应于第11次回旋谐波的54吉赫兹相干辐射进行了表征。这些观测结果证明了同步辐射共振脉泽的可能性。
