Generation of Tunable, Monochromatic X-rays in the Laser Synchrotron Source Experiment*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tunable, monochromatic x-rays have been generated in the Laser Synchrotron Source (LSS) experiment at the Naval Research Laboratory by Thomson backscattering of laser photons from a relativistic electron beam. Laser photons from a 5 J, 10 nsec, Nd:glass laser at 1053 nm wavelength are backscattered from a 4 MeV, 300 mA electron beam generated by an S-band RF gun. Recent experimental results include the production of 10 x-ray photons per pulse at 372 eV with a bandwidth of ±7 eV. Present work involves the characterization of the angular distribution of the x-rays and a new experiment to study nonlinear Thomson scattering using a 400 fsec, TW laser pulse.

Spontaneous Emission of Undulators and Free Electron Lasers
In this paper, we report the main characteristics of undulators assembled on an electron storage ring, operating as a synchrotron radiation source and as a free electron,laser. It is shown that the spontaneous emission is a powerful, quasi-monochromatic and tunable source of light in the infra-red, visible, ultra-violet and X-rays range. First results on the stimulated emission in the visible r...
متن کاملLinac-based Laser Compton Scattering X-ray and Gamma-ray Sources
Laser Compton scattering (LCS) light sources can provide high-energy photons from keV to MeV range. Many research and development projects of linac-based LCS sources are carried on. For the photon energies of tens keV, linac-based LCS sources realize laboratory-size X-ray sources, of which performance is potentially comparable to 2 generation synchrotron light sources. Linac-based LCS also real...
متن کاملX-ray phase-contrast tomography with a compact laser-driven synchrotron source.
Between X-ray tubes and large-scale synchrotron sources, a large gap in performance exists with respect to the monochromaticity and brilliance of the X-ray beam. However, due to their size and cost, large-scale synchrotrons are not available for more routine applications in small and medium-sized academic or industrial laboratories. This gap could be closed by laser-driven compact synchrotron l...

The possibility of inserting an optical klystron on the storage ring of an Iranian Light Source Facility as a Synchrotron Radiation Free electron Laser for coherence harmonic generation in the soft x-ray spectrum has been studied. The study has been performed using the 3D FEL simulation code GENESIS 1.3 and in accordance with the available characteristic parameters of ISLF. Different potential ...

Studies of phenomena such as charge, orbital and spin ordering in manganite has attracted much interest in recent years. These studies have been possible from an experimental point of view by the third generation synchrotron sources. X-ray with high flux density, tunable energy and polarization can be produced in synchrotron sources. Experiments have shown a resonant in peak intensity originat...
