Abstract
An intense beam of relativistic electrons (800 A, 6.7 MeV) has been bunched at 35 GHz by a free-electron laser, in which output power levels exceeding 100 MW were obtained. The beam was then extracted and transported through a resonant cavity, that was excited by its passage. Microwave power levels of 10 MW were extracted from the cavity, in reasonable agreement with a sim ple formula which relates power output to known properties of the both beam and cavity.
