Design of an X-ray Free Electron Laser Undulator
An undulator designed to be used for an x-ray free electron laser has to meet a set of stringent requirements. With no optical cavity, an x-ray FEL operates in the single pass Self Amplfied Spontaneous Emission (SASE) mode; an electron macropulse is microbunched by an undulator and the radiation it creates. The microbunched pulse emits spontaneous radiation and coherent FEL radiation, whose pow...
متن کاملCompact x-ray free-electron laser from a laser-plasma accelerator using a transverse-gradient undulator.
Compact laser-plasma accelerators can produce high energy electron beams with low emittance, high peak current but a rather large energy spread. The large energy spread hinders the potential applications for coherent free-electron laser (FEL) radiation generation. We discuss a method to compensate the effects of beam energy spread by introducing a transverse field variation into the FEL undulat...
متن کاملCompact laser accelerators for X-ray phase-contrast imaging.
Advances in X-ray imaging techniques have been driven by advances in novel X-ray sources. The latest fourth-generation X-ray sources can boast large photon fluxes at unprecedented brightness. However, the large size of these facilities means that these sources are not available for everyday applications. With advances in laser plasma acceleration, electron beams can now be generated at energies...
متن کاملDesign and performance of a laser-plasma-based compact soft x-ray microscope
We describe the design of a user-friendly compact water-window x-ray microscope. The microscope is based on a l53.37 nm liquid-jet-target laser-plasma source in combination with a normal-incidence multilayer condenser mirror and high-resolution diffractive optics for the imaging. With its high mechanical and thermal stability, the instrument demonstrates enhanced resolution and potential for co...
متن کاملWavePropaGator: interactive framework for X-ray free-electron laser optics design and simulations1
This article describes the WavePropaGator (WPG) package, a new interactive software framework for coherent and partially coherent X-ray wavefront propagation simulations. The package has been developed at European XFEL for users at the existing and emerging free-electron laser (FEL) facilities, as well as at the third-generation synchrotron sources and future diffraction-limited storage rings. ...
