Mid Infrared Instrument cooler subsystem test facility overview

An Overview of the New Clic Test Facility (ctf3)

The CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) RF power source is based on a new scheme of electron pulse compression and bunch frequency multiplication, in which the drive beam time structure is obtained by the combination of electron bunch trains in isochronous rings. The next CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN will be built in order to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the scheme. It will also con...

Overview of diagnostics on ITER neutral beam test facility

ITER operation relies on heating neutral beam injectors (HNB) based on negative ion deuterium beams accelerated at 1 MeV, with up to one hour 17 MW power, uniform intensity and low divergence. A neutral beam test facility is being built at Consorzio RFX to demonstrate the feasibility of a prototype injector with such demanding specifications and to optimize its performances. It comprises SPIDER...

Cooler Injector Synchrotron Control Hardware at Indiana University Cyclotron Facility

This paper describes the control hardware at IUCF for the newly commissioned 200 MeV CIS ring. A combination of “commercial off the shelf” and custom “in house” hardware makes up DAC, ADC, and timing control for this synchrotron. The focus of this paper is on the custom designed hardware.

BROADBAND MID-INFRARED SOLID-STATE LASERS Broadband Mid-Infrared Lasers

A survey of broadband Co2+and Cr2+-based lasers is presented. These mid-IR sources, operating in the very interesting “molecular fingerprint” region between ∼1.6 and 3.5μm offer the broadest bandwidth from all solid-state vibronic lasers. The emphasize is made on Cr2+-doped lasers, which have not only the widest and the highest gain, but also operate at room-temperature and produce the shortest...
