Abstract
An improved radiation source is disclosed, exploiting the spontaneous radiation generated from the interaction of an electron beam and a conductive grating. Conditions are defined for generating coherent or noncoherent radiation, and for extending the tunability of the radiation source from millimeter, IR, visible and UV wavelengths to x-ray wavelengths, and for generating multiple wavelengths simultaneously. Conditions are disclosed for enhancing the intensity of the spontaneous radiation, anf for modulating the radiation.
