Two-colour free electron laser with wide frequency separation using a single monoenergetic electron beam
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies of a broad bandwidth, two-colour free electron laser (FEL) amplifier using one monoenergetic electron beam are presented. The two-colour FEL interaction is achieved using a series of undulator modules alternately tuned to two well-separated resonant frequencies. Using the broad bandwidth FEL simulation code Puffin, the electron beam is shown to bunch strongly and simultaneously at the two resonant frequencies. Electron bunching components are also generated at the sum and difference of the resonant frequencies.

STABLE, MONOENERGETIC 50-400 MeV ELECTRON BEAMS WITH A MATCHED LASER WAKEFIELD ACCELERATOR∗
High-power, ultrashort laser pulses have been shown to generate quasi-monoenergetic electron beams from underdense plasmas. Several groups have reported generating high-energy electron beams using either supersonic nozzles or a capillary based system to guide the laser pulse. While, significant progress has been achieved in the last several years, many issues still remain, with respect to point...

متن کاملConcurrence of monoenergetic electron beams and bright X-rays from an evolving laser-plasma bubble.
Desktop laser plasma acceleration has proven to be able to generate gigaelectronvolt-level quasi-monoenergetic electron beams. Moreover, such electron beams can oscillate transversely (wiggling motion) in the laser-produced plasma bubble/channel and emit collimated ultrashort X-ray flashes known as betatron radiation with photon energy ranging from kiloelectronvolts to megaelectronvolts. This i...
متن کاملStudy of a THz IFEL prebuncher for laser-plasma accelerators
For monoenergetic acceleration of electrons, the injected particles need to be bunched with the same periodicity as the accelerating structure. In a laser-driven plasma beatwave accelerator, the accelerating structure (plasma wave) is phase-locked to the CO2 beat-wave used to drive it. Using the same beat-wave to generate high power FIR radiation via difference frequency mixing in GaAs ensures ...

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of self-fields on gain in a helical wiggler free electron laser with axial magnetic field and ion-channel guiding. The self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a relativistic electron beam passing through a helical wiggler are analyzed. The electron trajectories and the small signal gain are derived. Numerical investigation is shown that for grou...
