Optimization of a seeded free-electron laser with helical undulators.

چکیده
Seeded single pass free-electron lasers are promising coherent, short-duration, and intense light sources, from the visible to x rays. Operated with adjustable undulators, they are also a unique device for providing fully variable polarized radiation. We report here the first seeding of helical undulators with a variable polarized source. We demonstrate that the adjustment of the seed polarization and focusing allows the free-electron laser radiation to be optimized in terms of intensity and quality.

Self-Fields Effects on Gain in a Helical Wiggler Free Electron Laser with Ion-Channel Guiding and Axial Magnetic Field
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...
متن کاملPropagation and Interaction of Electrostatic and Electromagnetic Waves in Two Stream Free Electron Laser in the Presence of Self-Fields
A relativistic theory for two-stream free electron laser (FEL) with a one-dimensional helical wiggler and ion-channel guiding in the presence of self-fields are presented. A dispersion relation (DR) which includes coupling between the electromagnetic and the electrostatic waves is derived from a fluid model, with all of the relativistic terms related to the transverse wiggler motion. This DR is...

We present a two stage Inverse Free Electron Laser accelerator proposed for construction at the UCLA Neptune Lab. Proof-of-principle experiments on the IFEL scheme have been carried out successfully. This experiment is intended to achieve a 100 MeV energy gain, staging two IFEL modules. It will use a 16 MeV electron beam, a 1 TW CO2 laser and two different tapered helical undulators. The proble...
