Nonlinear Harmonic Selection in an Fel Undulator System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both fundamental and higher order harmonics are produced within the synchrotron radiation emitted during the free electron laser (FEL) process. These harmonics are not always wanted and at times can be detrimental to the overall operation of the FEL; furthermore, they can have a negative effect on user operations. Thus, the ability to control the harmonics is an important area of research. In this paper we discuss some possible means of controlling the harmonics and use PERSEO simulations to reduce the 5th harmonic of a test FEL system to acceptable levels.

Properties of the odd harmonics of the radiation from SASE FEL with a planar undulator
Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission Free Electron Laser (SASE FEL) with a planar undulator holds a potential for generation of relatively strong coherent radiation at the third harmonic of the fundamental frequency. Here we present detailed study of the nonlinear harmonic generation in the SASE FEL obtained with time-dependent FEL simu...
متن کاملPolarization Analysis of Nonlinear Harmonic Radiation in a Crossed-Planar Undulator
There is growing interest in producing intense, coherent x-ray radiation with an adjustable and arbitrary polarization state. The crossed-planar undulator, which was first proposed by Kim, could achieve rapid polarization control in synchrotron radiation sources and free electron lasers (FELs) through the manipulation of a phase shifter. Recently, a statistical analysis shows that a polarizatio...
متن کاملCoherence Properties of the Odd Harmonics of the Radiation from Sase Fel with Planar Undulator
We present analysis of coherence properties of odd harmonics radiated from a SASE FEL with planar undulator. Nonlinear mechanism of harmonic generation is under study. Temporal and space correlation functions, coherence time and degree of transverse coherence are calculated by means of numerical simulations with the code FAST. Similarity techniques have been used to derive general coherence pro...
متن کاملFundamental and Harmonic Microbunching Measurements in a High-Gain, Self-amplified, Spontaneous Emission Free-Electron Laser
The self-amplified, spontaneous emission free-electron laser (SASE FEL) gain process is a collective instability which induces microbunching in the electron beam. Microbunching approaching unity at the fundamental FEL wavelength (845 nm), and its second harmonic, have been measured at the VISA FEL, at or near saturation. These measurements, which use the beam's coherent transition radiation (CT...
متن کاملThe Quantum X-ray Compton Free Electron Laser
The quantum operation mode in the X-ray Compton free-electron laser (FEL) is presented. This FEL mode emerges when the quantum emission exceeds the electron beam energy spread and FEL homogeneous linewidth, determined by the optical undulator length. Such a FEL becomes a two-level quantum oscillator with a completely inverted active medium. In the nonlinear interaction regime, inversion can be ...
