Abstract

A method and apparatus for enhancing the energy of THz radiation in the form of photon pulses comprising synchronously reflecting photon pulses using at least one pair of facing optical mirrors such that the reflected photon pulses encounter an electron bunch or another photon pulse travelling in the same direction and energy is transmitted from the electron bunch or the other photon pulse resulting in an increase in the energy of the reflected photon pulse.
