Description

Anti-resonant crystal fibers have emerged as versatile tools in ultrafast optics, enabling high-field transport, nonlinear interactions, and precision sensing. Here, we investigate their potential as beam-driven radiators at the European XFEL using high-charge electron bunches. We present a simple analytical model supported by full electromagnetic simulations. Our results suggest that anti-resonant fibers can generate high-frequency THz radiation, with performance ultimately limited only by the intrinsic material losses of the waveguide.
