Exponential growth, superradiance, and tunability of a seeded free electron laser.

چکیده
Exponential growth and superradiance regimes in a high-gain free electron laser (FEL) are studied in this paper for both a seeded FEL and a Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) FEL. The results are compared to the earlier superrdaince theory and the recent experimental observation. The influence of an initial energy chirp along the electron bunch on the superradiance mode is explored for the first time. With a short seed to increase the initial seed bandwidth, a tunable seeded FEL is possible.

Comment on "experimental characterization of superradiance in a single-pass high-gain laser-seeded free-electron laser amplifier".
In this Letter we report the first experimental characterization of superradiance in a single-pass high-gain free-electron laser (FEL) seeded by a 150 femtosecond (FWHM) Ti:sapphire laser. The nonlinear energy gain after an exponential gain regime was observed. We also measured the evolution of the longitudinal phase space in both the exponential and superradiant regimes. The output FEL pulse d...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Superradiance in a Tapered Free-Electron Laser Amplifier
We report experimental studies of the effect of undulator tapering on superradiance in a single-pass highgain free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier. The experiments were performed at the Source Development Laboratory (SDL) of National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). Efficiency was nearly tripled with tapering. Both the temporal and spectral properties of the superradiant FEL along the uniform an...
متن کاملGenerating Multiple Superradiance Pulses in a Slippage- Dominant Free-electron Laser Amplifier
We report the first numerical demonstration of the generation of multiple superradiance pulses in a slippage-dominant freeelectron laser amplifier. In this simulation, the 1 and 2 multiple radiation-pulses are created from the deformation of the longitudinal phase space. Our simulation confirmed controllability over the temporal profile of these pulses, and paves the way for applying this techn...
متن کاملHigh-order-harmonic generation and superradiance in a seeded free-electron laser.
Higher order harmonic generation in a free-electron laser amplifier operating in the superradiant regime [R. H. Dicke, Phys. Rev. 93, 99 (1954).] has been observed. Superradiance has been induced by seeding a single-pass amplifier with the second harmonic of a Ti:sapphire laser, generated in a β-Barium borate crystal, at seed intensities comparable to the free-electron laser saturation intensit...
متن کاملSuperradiant cascade in a seeded free-electron laser.
We report measurements demonstrating the concept of the free-electron laser (FEL) superradiant cascade. Radiation (λ(rad) = 200 nm) at the second harmonic of a short, intense seed laser pulse (λ(seed) = 400 nm) was generated by the cascaded FEL scheme at the transition between the modulator and radiator undulator sections. The superradiance of the ultrashort pulse is confirmed by detailed measu...
