چکیده
Removal of the undesired time-energy correlations in the electron beam is of paramount importance for efficient lasing of a high-gain free-electron laser. Recently, it has been theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that the longitudinal wakefield excited by the electrons themselves in a corrugated structure allows for precise control of the electron beam phase space. In this Letter, we report the first utilization of a corrugated structure as a beam linearizer in the operation of a seeded free-electron laser driven by a 140 MeV linear accelerator, where a gain of ∼10 000 over spontaneous emission was achieved at the second harmonic of the 1047 nm seed laser, and a free-electron laser bandwidth narrowing by 50% was observed, in good agreement with the theoretical expectations.

First Demonstration of a Slippage-dominant Superradiant Free-electron Laser Amplifier
We report the first experimental demonstration of a slippagedominant superradiant free-electron laser (FEL) using an ultrafast seed-laser pulse. We measured the evolution of the longitudinal phase space in the slippage-dominant superradiant regime. With a roughly 1% variation in the electron beam energy, we observed a seed-like fully longitudinal coherence, and a 2% wavelength shift from the se...

The longitudinal phase space distribution of electron beam plays critical role in ultra-short electron bunch production, coherent radiation, free electron laser (FEL) and many other applications. Photocathode RF gun is capable of controlling not only the transverse emittance of electron beam, but also longitudinal emittance. The longitudinal phase space distribution of photoelectron beam was in...
متن کاملQuasi-phase-matched acceleration of electrons in a corrugated plasma channel
A laser pulse propagating in a corrugated plasma channel is composed of spatial harmonics whose phase velocities can be subluminal. The phase velocity of a spatial harmonic can be matched to the speed of a relativistic electron resulting in direct acceleration by the guided laser field in a plasma waveguide and linear energy gain over the interaction length. Here we examine the fully self-consi...

متن کاملEnergy-Recovery Option for a Future X-ray Free-Electron Laser
A superconducting electron linac together with an energy-recovery system, which has been demonstrated as a useful driver for high-power IR-FELs, seems to be an attractive device for a future X-ray FEL facility as well, because the energy-recovery enable one to reduce the RF generator power required for the operation and also reduce the radiation from the beam dump. Automatic cancellation of bea...
