A dense background plasma is observed through computer simulation to reduce the phase velocity of the most unstable mode in a backward-wave oscillator which results in a strong efficiency enhancement. The relatively weak beam-backward plasma-wave instability introduced by the rippled waveguide wall is found to exert minimal impact on the interaction efficiency.
