Dynamics of Electrons in Free Electron Laser with Square Core Waveguides

Authors

Abstract:

Due to sensitive and important applications of free-electron laser in industry and medicine, improvement of the power and efficiency of laser has always been emphasized. Therefore, understanding the created field and examining the properties of the field in waveguides with different shapes and studying the sustainability of electrons movement are particularly important. In this study, the behavior of electrons in free-electron laser in the wiggler field by square waveguide with central core is examined which is a new research. Due to the complexity of cross section, the equations governing the field are solved numerically, and magnetostatic fields are calculated and then the changes of Wiggler magnetic field are displayed. Finally, the properties of balanced electron circuits for the first and third harmonics are studied and the strong effect of the third space harmonic on the field is observed in the second magnetic resonance and the obtained results indicate greater volatility of transverse components of velocity. Since the field intensity on the sides and center of the waveguide and the order of electrons motion are important in determining the laser power and efficiency, studying the behavior of electrons in this research indicates that in the empty space between the two walls, Wiggler magnetic field is minimized and leads to the focus of electron beam. Therefore, the closer is the starting point of the movement of electron to the center of waveguide, the better will be the movement order.

Broadband flexible waveguides for free-electron laser radiation.

We refined flexible waveguides previously developed for CO(2) and Er:YAG laser radiation to transmit free-electron-laser (FEL) radiation. One can tune this laser over several segments of the radiation spectrum. This laser has a high peak power of as much as 10 MW with pulse energy of as much as 100 mJ. We made the waveguides of either Teflon or fused-silica tubes internally coated with metal an...

Chaotic dynamics in a storage-ring Free Electron Laser

The temporal dynamics of a storage-ring Free Electron Laser is here investigated with particular attention to the case in which an external modulation is applied to the laser-electron beam detuning. The system is shown to produce bifurcations, multi-furcations as well as chaotic regimes. The peculiarities of this phenomenon with respect to the analogous behavior displayed by conventional laser ...

High energy gain of trapped electrons in a tapered, diffraction-dominated inverse-free-electron laser.

Energy gain of trapped electrons in excess of 20 MeV has been demonstrated in an inverse-free-electron-laser (IFEL) accelerator experiment. A 14.5 MeV electron beam is copropagated with a 400 GW CO2 laser beam in a 50 cm long undulator strongly tapered in period and field amplitude. The Rayleigh range of the laser, approximately 1.8 cm, is much shorter than the undulator length yielding a diffr...

Electron Injection by Dephasing Electrons with Laser Fields

The authors seek to review injection concepts for plasma based acceleration. It is shown that regardless of injection mechanism, resultant beams will be similar due to wave structure. Also, most schemes employ the same basic processes, namely the dephasing of electrons by laser elds, and can thus be analyzed with similar approaches.
