Cyclotron-resonance maser driven by magnetic compression of rarefied plasma.
Conditions are found at which adiabatic magnetic compression of plasma confined in a mirror magnetic trap is accompanied by the accumulation of significant energy in a hot anisotropic electron tail with the subsequent release of this energy as a pulse of coherent electromagnetic radiation. The possibilities of creating THz radiation sources up to the GW power level are discussed.
