Laser System for a Subpicosecond Electron Linac
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the Argonne Chemistry Division efforts are underway to develop a sub-picosecond electron beam pulse radiolysis facility for chemical studies. The target output of the accelerator is to generate electron pulses that can be adjusted from 3nC in .6ps to 100nC in 45ps. In conjunction with development of the accelerator a stateof-the-art ultrafast laser system is under construction that will drive the linac’s photocathode and provide probe pulses that are tunable from the UV to IR spectral regions.

Isir Subpicosecond Pulse Radiolysis System
The highest time resolution of the pulse radiolysis had remained about 30 ps since the late 1960’s. To make clear the primary processes in the radiation chemistry and physics within 30 ps, we developed a stroboscopic pulse radiolysis system for the absorption spectroscopy with the time resolution of 2.0 ps (10-90% rise time). The time resolution of 2.0 ps was estimated from the time-dependent b...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Femtosecond Pulse Radiolysis for Reaction Analysis in Nano-space
Pulse radiolysis based on linear accelerator is studied in Osaka University for the observation of radiation-induced ultrafast physical and chemical reactions. A subpicosecond pulse radiolysis was developed by using a subpicosecond electron pulse from L-band linear accelerator and a femtosecond laser pulse. The geminate ion recombination in n-dodecane was investigated by using the subpicosecond...

We report the results of preliminary studies of a 2 to 4 nm SASE FEL, using a photoinjector to produce the electron beam, and the SLAC linac to accelerate it to an energy up to 10 GeV. Longitudinal bunch compression is used to increase ten fold the peak current to 2.5 kA, while reducing the bunch length to the subpicosecond range. The saturated output power is in the multi-gigawatt range, produ...
متن کاملOutput Power Control in an X-ray Fel
Recent theoretical and experimental advances of the high gain Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission free-electron laser (SASE-FEL), have demonstrated the feasibility of using this system as a 4 generation light source. This source will produce diffraction-limited radiation in the 0.1nm region of the spectrum, with peak power of tens of GW, subpicosecond pulse length, and very large brightness [1,...
متن کاملConceptual Design for a 1-GeV IFEL Accelerator
A conceptual design for a multistaged 1-GeV IFEL laser-driven accelerator (laser linac) was developed using the Staged Electron Laser Acceleration (STELLA) inverse free electron laser (IFEL) model created at STI Optronics. A comparison with the UCLA TREDI model yields good agreement with the STELLA model. The 1-GeV IFEL laser linac consists of an IFEL buncher for forming microbunches and four I...
