X-ray FEL Wavelength Tuning

The FEL x-ray wavelength can be tuned by one of the following methods 1. varying the electron beam energy, Eb and thus the beam g 2. varying the gap by moving the magnet jaws symmetrically in and out, thus changing the K value

Generations of Beam-based Radiation Sources

X-ray Tubes

– X-ray tubes emit Bremsstrahlung and characteristic peaks

– Characteristic peaks are narrow-line atomic transitions

Synchrotron Radiation (1st and 2nd Generation Light Sources)

– Electrons going around bends produce synchrotron radiation

First generation SR operated as parasitic radiation devices

Second generation SR are dedicated to radiation production

Synchrotron Radiation (3rd Generation Light Sources)

3rd Gen SR have low-emittance lattice with straight sections

Bending magnet and wiggler radiation is broadband – Undulator radiation has narrow spectral lines

X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (4th Generation Light Sources)

XFEL produce coherent, tunable, narrow-band x-rays – X-ray pulses are typically a few femtoseconds long – FEL peak brilliance is typically 10 orders of magnitude brighter

than third-generation SR.

The line enables the manipulation of the properties of the produced electron beams (energy spread, divergence, dispersion) in view of light source applications. The electron beam brightness and undulator radiation brilliance are addressed by an analytical approach enabling us to point out the influence of chromatic effects in the COXINEL case.

Elleaume Département de Physico-Chimie, CEN Saolay, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France Résumé : Le klystron optique est une version modifiée de l'onduleur utilisé pour améliorer le gain du Laser à Electrons Libres. L'émission spontanée et le gain sont calculés en fonction de l'énergie des électrons et de la longueur d'onde. Quelques effets limitant l'augmentation du gain sont étudiés : d i s p e r s i o n en énergie, dispersion angulaire, tailles transverses du faisceau d'électrons. Je discute brièvement l'utilisation de la modulation en densité introduite par le klystron optique sur le faisceau d'électrons pour générer du rayonnement synchrotron cohérent.

    A New PLS-II In-Vacuum Undulator and Characterization of Undulator Radiation D-E. Kim, H-H. Lee, K-H. Park, H-S. Seo, T. Ha, Y-G. Jeong, H-S. Han, W.W. Lee, J-Y. Huang, S. Nam, K-R. Kim and S. Shin Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, POSTECH, Pohang, 790-784, KOREA This paper describes the result of overall studies from development to characterization of undulator radiation. After three years of upgrading, PLS-II [1, 2] has been operating successfully since 21st March 2012. During the upgrade, we developed and installed an in-vacuum undulator (IVU) that generates brilliant X-ray beam. The IVU with 3 GeV electron beam generates undulator radiation up to ~ 21 keV using 11th higher harmonic. The characterizations of the undulator radiation at an X-ray beam line in PLS-II agreed well with the simulation. Based on this performance demonstration, the in-vacuum undulator is successfully operating at PLS-II.

INTRODUCTION Newer generation light sources with medium electron energy around 3 GeV as well as SASE-FEL are adopting in-vacuum undulator (IVU) to obtain short-wavelength and high-brilliance X-rays from undulator with short magnet period and required magnetic field. Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) [3] had developed IVU during PLS-II project. With operating experience of in-vacuum revolver undulator from SPring-8 [4] and conventional IVU from ADC [5] at the PLS [6], the new IVU with 20 mm magnetic period and 1.8 m long undulator length was developed and have been operated in PLS-II.

The main concept consists of two undulators separated by a dispersive section that converts the energy modulation induced in the first undulator in density modulation, enhancing the coherent harmonic generation in the first part of the second undulator. This scheme could be replicated in a multi-stage: the bunching is enhanced after each dispersive section, consistently reducing the saturation length. We have applied the multi-stage optical klystron (OK) scheme on the FEL-2 line at FERMI, whose layout includes three dispersive sections.

    Small Signal Bi-Period Harmonic Undulator Free Electron Laser

    Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 105, 217–227, 2020 Small Signal Bi-Period Harmonic Undulator Free Electron Laser Ganeswar Mishra*, Avani Sharma, and Saif M. Khan Abstract—In this paper, we discuss the spectral property of radiation of an electron moving in a bi- period harmonic undulator field with a phase between the primary undulator field and the harmonic field component. We derive the expression for the photons per second per mrad2 per 0.1% BW of the radiation. A small signal gain analysis also is discussed highlighting this feature of the radiation. A bi-period index parameter, i.e., Λ is introduced in the calculation. According to the value of the index parameter, the scheme can operate as one period or bi-period undulator. It is shown that when Λ = π, the device operates at the fundamental and the third harmonic. However, when Λ = π/2, it is possible to eliminate the third harmonic. 1. INTRODUCTION Insertion devices are the key components of the synchrotron radiation and free electron laser sources. There are interests and technology upgrades of undulator technology for synchrotron radiation source (SRS) and free electron laser (FEL) for producing tunable electromagnetic radiation over the desired electromagnetic spectrum [1–12]. In the synchrotron radiation source, the relativistic electron beam propagates in the magnetic undulator field and emits spontaneous radiation. In the free electron laser scheme, the relativistic electron beam exchanges the kinetic energy to a co-propagating radiation field at the resonant frequency. Most insertion devices are undulators designed either as pure permanent magnet or hybrid permanent magnet according to Halbach field configuration.
