High-Harmonic Inverse-Free-Electron-Laser Interaction at 800 nm

Higher harmonic inverse free-electron laser interaction.

We expand the theory of the inverse free electron laser (IFEL) interaction to include the possibility of energy exchange that takes place when relativistic particles traversing an undulator interact with an electromagnetic wave of a frequency that is a harmonic of the fundamental wiggler resonant frequency. We derive the coupling coefficients as a function of the IFEL parameters for all harmoni...

Ultraviolet high-gain harmonic-generation free-electron laser at BNL

We report the first experimental results on a high-gain harmonic-generation (HGHG) free-electron laser (FEL) operating in the ultraviolet. An 800 nm seed from a Ti-Sapphire laser has been used to produce saturated amplified output at the 266 nm third-harmonic. The results confirm the advantages of the HGHG FEL: stable central wavelength, narrow bandwidth and small pulse energy fluctuation. The ...

High-gain Harmonic-generation Free-electron Laser

A high-gain harmonic-generation free-electron laser is demonstrated. Our approach uses a laser-seeded free-electron laser to produce amplified, longitudinally coherent, Fourier transform-limited output at a harmonic of the seed laser. A seed carbon dioxide laser at a wavelength of 10.6 micrometers produced saturated, amplified free-etectron laser output at the second-harmonic wavelength, 5.3 mi...
