چکیده

A facility to generate high-intensity, ultra-short pulses of broad-band far-infrared radiation has been assembled and tested at Stanford.’ The device uses sub-picosecond relativistic electron bunches to generate coherent radiation through transition or synchrotron radiation in the far-infrared (FIR) regime between millimeter waves and wavelengths of about 100pm and less. Experimental results show a peak radiation power of greater than 0.33 MW within a micro-bunch and an average FIR radiation power of 4 mW. The average bunch length of 2856 micro-bunches within a 1 psec macro-pulse is estimated to be about 480 fsec. Simulations, experimental setup and results will be discussed.

Sub-picosecond electron bunch length measurement by terahertz radiation S.Zhang S.Benson D.Douglas M.Shinn and G.Williams

This paper presents the measurement of sub-picosecond relativistic electron beam bunch length by analyzing the spectra of the coherent terahertz pulses through Kramers-Kronig transformation. The results are compared with autocorrelation from a scanning polarization autocorrelator that measures the coherent optical transition radiation. The limitations of the different methods to such a characte...

Measurement of Sub-picosecond Bunch Length with the Interferometry from Double Diffraction Radiation Target*

Reliable and precise methods for non-invasive diagnostics of sub-picosecond electron bunches are required for new accelerator facilities (FEL, LWFA, et al.). Measurements of spectral characteristics of coherent radiation generated by such bunches using interferometer allow to determine a bunch length [1]. Here we present a compare experimental study between the measurement from the double diffr...

ELECTRO OPTICAL SAMPLING OF COHERENT SYNCHROTRON RADIATION FOR PICOSECOND ELECTRON BUNCHES WITH FEW pC CHARGE

Electro Optical (EO) sampling is a promising nondestructive method for measuring ultra short (sub-ps) electron bunches. The FEMTO slicing experiment at the Swiss Light Source modulates about 3 pC of the 5 nC electron bunch longitudinally. The coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) emitted by this substructure was sampled by 100 fs long pulses from an Yb fiber laser in EO crystals of gallium phosp...

1.1 Initial scientific uses of coherent synchrotron radiation in electron storage rings

The terahertz (THz) and sub-THz region of the electromagnetic spectrum bridges the infrared and the microwave. This boundary region is beyond the normal reach of optical and electronic measurement techniques normally associated with these better-known neighbors. Only over the past decade has this THz region become scientifically accessible with broadband sources of moderate intensity being prod...

Characterization of the THz radiation source at the Frascati linear accelerator.

The linac driven coherent THz radiation source at the SPARC-LAB test facility is able to deliver broadband THz pulses with femtosecond shaping. In addition, high peak power, narrow spectral bandwidth THz radiation can be also generated, taking advantage of advanced electron beam manipulation techniques, able to generate an adjustable train of electron bunches with a sub-picosecond length and wi...
