Abstract

Evidence for optical guiding of 1.7-mm-wavelength radiation along an electron beam in a Raman free-electron laser is obtained experimentally and compared with numerical simulations. Optical guiding is manifest as the interference effect of several waveguide modes; this is observed beyond the point of electron-beam termination. The experiment operates in the regime of exponential signal gain and appreciable electron-beam space charge.
