Abstract
Electromagnetic waves with frequencies from 0.1 THz to
10 THz are of great importance for a number of scientific
and practical applications. Different techniques are known
allowing generating these frequencies. However, a current
trend of physics and industry is to fill this gap with more
powerful and efficient sources. For example, recent experi-
ments have shown promising THz generation in dielectric
loaded structures. Developing this area, we consider the
THz emitting scheme where an ultrarelativistic charge exits
the open end of a cylindrical waveguide with a dielectric
layer and produces THz waves in a form of Cherenkov ra-
diation. The end of the waveguide is supposed to be either
orthogonal to the structure axis or skewed. To obtain THz
frequencies from waveguides with centimeter or millimeter
radii, we consider high order modes. We present typical
field patterns (in the Fraunhofer zone) and show that the
aperture of the vacuum channel gives, as a rule, the main
contribution.
