Surface Mode at λ=690 m
Scattering coefficients from mth to nth spatial modes
There is a singularity in e00, indicating that a free-propagating surfacemode
Due to linear relation between different emn, em0 are in general singular
The mth spatial waves combine to satisfy the grating BC
A surface mode of a perfectly conducting grating does not couple toany propagating modes…If it did, the singularity cannot be infinitelynarrow.

Phase Velocity, Group Velocity, and Diffraction
A wave evanescent in the x-direction and diffracting in y, with waist σy atz=0:
This satisfies free space wave equation if k2=kz2-Γ2
The phase velocity and diffraction property are determined by the operatingvalue of k and kz. For example, the diffraction angle σy’=1/2kzσy , the phasefront curvature R=(z2+ZR
2)/z, etc.
The group velocity, including its sign, is determined by how kz changes as afunction of k near the operating point.
For example let Γ=gk(1-αk), thus . The group velocityis negative if αk=3/4.

Conclusions
• We have developed a theory of SP-FELs driven by sheet beams operating asa BWO, using Maxwell-Lorentz equations.
• Simple formula for start current is derived from linear analysis .
• Results from a simulation code based on Maxwell-Lorentz equations agreewith linear theory where applicable and give saturation behavior.
• The sheet beam theory can be used for designing a portable SP FEL forTHz radiation.
