Abstract: Self-similar solutions describing the amplification and compression of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses in their interaction with quasi-stationary electron flows are constructed on the basis of analogy with the coherent amplification of short optical pulses by inverted laser media. It is shown that the effects of amplification of pulses with their simultaneous compression are universal and must be observed for different mechanisms of induced radiation, including the Cherenkov and cyclotron mechanisms.
