Optical frequency shot-noise suppression in electron beams: Three-dimensional analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A predicted effect of current shot-noise suppression at optical-frequencies in a drifting charged-particle-beam and the corresponding process of particles self-ordering are analyzed in a one-dimensional 1D model and verified by three-dimensional numerical simulations. The analysis confirms the prediction of a 1D single mode Langmuir plasma wave model of longitudinal plasma oscillation in the beam, and it defines the regime of beam parameters in which this effect takes place. The suppression of relativistic beam shot noise can be utilized to enhance the coherence of free electron lasers and of any coherent radiation device using an electron beam. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3388385

Beating the shot-noise limit
The current shot-noise of an electron beam is proportional to its average current and the frequency bandwidth. This is a consequence of the Poisson distribution statistics of particles emitted at random from any source. Here we demonstrate noise suppression below the shot-noise limit in optical frequencies for relativistic electron beams. This process is made possible by collective Coulomb inte...
متن کاملCollective-interaction control and reduction of optical frequency shot noise in charged-particle beams.
We present a theoretical model for longitudinal collective Coulomb interactions in a charged-particle beam. It suggests a possibility to control and reduce optical frequency shot-noise current in accelerated electron beams. For short interaction lengths, the model describes well coherent optical transition radiation effects observed in SLAC LCLS and in other laboratories. For longer interaction...
متن کاملShot noise suppression at one-dimensional hopping
We have carried out a preliminary analysis of shot noise at hopping, focusing on uniform one-dimensional ~1D! arrays of sites separated by N tunnel barriers. The results show that at low temperatures the low-frequency density of the shot noise varies from 1/N to 1 of the Schottky value, depending on the geometry, electron density, and Coulomb interaction strength. An interesting feature is v de...
متن کاملExperiment on Suppression of Spontaneous Undulator Radiation at Atf
There are several advantages in strongly suppressing shot noise in the electron beam, and the corresponding spontaneous radiation. The self-amplified spontaneous (SASE) emission originating from shot noise in the electron beam is the main source of noise in high-gain FEL amplifiers. It may negatively affect several HG FEL applications ranging from singleto multi-stage HGHG FELs [1]. SASE satura...
متن کاملExperimental generation of frequency-tunable entangled optical beams with continuous variables
Frequency tunable continuous variable (CV) entangled optical beams are experimentally demonstrated from a non-degenerate optical parametric oscillator working above the threshold. The measured correlation variances of amplitude and phase quadratures are 3.2 and 1.5 dB, respectively, below the corresponding shot noise level (SNL) in the tuning range of 580 GHz (2.25 nm). The frequency tuning is ...
