Optimization of the electron-beam transport in the Israeli tandem FEL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optimization of electron-beam transport in FEL devices is very important for efficient operation. A new simulation code for electron-beam transport in FELs was developed recently at Tel-Aviv University (TAU) in order to optimize the electron-beam transport. Equations of motion of an electron in the presence of magnetic and electric fields are solved numerically for various magnetic elements. The results of the simulation provided guidelines for setting appropriate currents on quadrupole magnets along the beam line. A comparison between calculated and measured beam diameters is provided.

First operation of the Israeli Tandem Electrostatic Accelerator Free-Electron Laser
Results of first operation of the Israeli Electrostatic-Accelerator Tandem Free-Electron Laser (EA-FEL) are reported. This EA-FEL utilizes a 1.4A electron beam obtained from a parallel flow Pierce-type electron gun. The e-beam is transported into a resonator located inside a planar Halbach configuration wiggler, which is at a potential of 1.4MeV with respect to the cathode. A resonator utilizin...

Simple formulas for optimization of VUV and X-ray SASE FELs are presented. The FEL gain length and the optimal beta-function are explicitly expressed in terms of the electron beam and undulator parameters. The FEL saturation length is estimated taking into account quantum diffusion in the undulator. Examples of the FEL optimization are given. Parameters of a SASE FEL, operating at the Compton w...

The experimental results of radiated power and its spectral parameters as measured on the Israeli electrostatic accelerator tandem FEL (EA-FEL) are interpreted and numerically simulated. Two complementary simulation codes, FEL3D and MALT1D show good agreement with experimental results. The FEL3D code (a non-linear threedimensional ‘amplifier’ code, based on a coupled-mode approach), was employe...

A possibility to develop a compact linac-based Infrared free-electron laser (IR FEL) facility has been studied at Chiang Mai University (CMU) in Thailand. Characteristics of the emitted FEL light and reliability in operation of the FEL system are determined by the properties of the electron injector, the undulator, and the optical cavity. The proposed injector system for the future IR FEL is ba...
