Abstract
An electrode has an apodization ratio greater than one along a direction parallel to an interaction length of the electrode. The electrode also has a top edge defined by an aperture function Y(x). The aperture function Y(x) has no points of discontinuity along the interaction length of the electrode. An area centroid of the electrode is at a midpoint of the interaction length.
