High-Frequency Impedance of Small-Angle Tapers and Collimators PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS - ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS 13, 104401 (2010) High-frequency impedance of small-angle tapers and collimators G. Stupakov SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA B. Podobedov Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973, USA (Received 13 July 2010; published 4 October 2010) Collimators and transitions in accelerator vacuum chambers often include small-angle tapering to lower the wakefields generated by the beam. While the low-frequency impedance is well described by Yokoya’s formula (for axisymmetric geometry), much less is known about the behavior of the impedance in the high-frequency limit. In this paper we develop an analytical approach to the high-frequency regime for round collimators and tapers. Our analytical results are compared with computer simulations using the code ECHO.

Too low quality collimators can become a source of significant measurement errors and collimators of too high quality can unnecessarily increase cost of a test system. In such a situation it is important for test system users to know proper requirements on the collimator and to be able to verify its performance. A method for evaluation of infrared reflective collimators used in test systems for testing thermal imagers is presented in this paper. The method requires only easily avail- able optical equipment and can be used not only by collimator manufactures but also by users of test equipment to verify per- formance of the collimators used for testing thermal imagers.

Super-collimation has many potential applications, the most straight-forward of which is in the area of integrated optical circuits, where super-collimation can be utilized for optical routing and optical logic.

The fused collimator consists of a PM fiber that is laser fused to a C type lens. The fusion joint provides a low loss interface between the two components and eliminates the need for separate components in the optical path. The design simplifies the number of components with the optical assembly leading to several advantages over traditional designs. In this paper we use the fiber coupling efficiency as a design metric and discuss the opt- mechanical tolerances and its effect on the overall design parameters. Keywords: Fiber Collimators, Fiber Coupling, RF Photonic Links, TOSA 1. INTRODUCTION Recent advances in the development of high power 1550nm semiconductor lasers for agile microwave photonic links have created a demand for high performance, reliable and robust beam delivery optics. In this paper we describe a transmitter optical sub-assembly (TOSA) based on a novel collimator design. The basic elements of the TOSA are the laser source, precision molded asphere, isolator, focusing lens and PM fiber. Traditionally, the focusing lens and fiber are discrete elements. In this application, the focusing lens and optical fiber are fused together to produce a single element referred to as a collimator (although in this application it’s used as a coupler).

  • Movable Collimator System for Superkekb
    PHYSICAL REVIEW ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS 23, 053501 (2020) Movable collimator system for SuperKEKB T. Ishibashi , S. Terui, Y. Suetsugu, K. Watanabe, and M. Shirai High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), 305-0801, Tsukuba, Japan (Received 3 March 2020; accepted 6 May 2020; published 13 May 2020) Movable collimators for the SuperKEKB main ring, which is a two-ring collider consisting of a 4 GeV positron and 7 GeVelectron storage ring, were designed to fit an antechamber scheme in the beam pipes, to suppress background noise in a particle detector complex named Belle II, and to avoid quenches, derived from stray particles, in the superconducting final focusing magnets. We developed horizontal and vertical collimators having a pair of horizontally or vertically opposed movable jaws with radiofrequency shields. The collimators have a large structure that protrudes into the circulating beam and a large impedance. Therefore, we estimated the impedance using an electromagnetic field simulator, and the impedance of the newly developed collimators is lower compared with that of our conventional ones because a part of each movable jaw is placed inside the antechamber structure. Ten horizontal collimators and three vertical collimators were installed in total, and we installed them in the rings taking the phase advance to the final focusing magnets into consideration. The system generally functioned, as expected, at a stored beam current of up to approximately 1 A. In high-current operations at 500 mA or above, the jaws were occasionally damaged by hitting abnormal beams, and we estimated the temperature rise for the collimator’s materials using a Monte Carlo simulation code.

  • Chapter 5 TREATMENT MACHINES for EXTERNAL BEAM
    Chapter 5 TREATMENT MACHINES FOR EXTERNAL BEAM RADIOTHERAPY E.B. PODGORSAK Department of Medical Physics, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada 5.1. INTRODUCTION Since the inception of radiotherapy soon after the discovery of X rays by Roentgen in 1895, the technology of X ray production has first been aimed towards ever higher photon and electron beam energies and intensities, and more recently towards computerization and intensity modulated beam delivery. During the first 50 years of radiotherapy the technological progress was relatively slow and mainly based on X ray tubes, van de Graaff generators and betatrons. The invention of the 60Co teletherapy unit by H.E. Johns in Canada in the early 1950s provided a tremendous boost in the quest for higher photon energies and placed the cobalt unit at the forefront of radiotherapy for a number of years. The concurrently developed medical linacs, however, soon eclipsed cobalt units, moved through five increasingly sophisticated generations and became the most widely used radiation source in modern radiotherapy. With its compact and efficient design, the linac offers excellent versatility for use in radiotherapy through isocentric mounting and provides either electron or megavoltage X ray therapy with a wide range of energies. In addition to linacs, electron and X ray radiotherapy is also carried out with other types of accelerator, such as betatrons and microtrons. More exotic particles, such as protons, neutrons, heavy ions and negative p mesons, all produced by special accelerators, are also sometimes used for radiotherapy; however, most contemporary radiotherapy is carried out with linacs or teletherapy cobalt units.

  • Partial Collimation of Diffuse Light from a Diffusely Reflective Source Lakes
    1 Partial collimation of diffuse light from a diffusely reflective source Lakes, R. S. and Vick, G., "Partial collimation of light from a diffusely reflective source", adapted from J. Modern Optics, 39, 2113- 2119, (1992). Abstract A general purpose collimator capable of collimation of radiation from an arbitrary thermal source of diffuse light is incompatible with the second law of thermodynamics. It is known, however, that diffusion of coherent light from a particular ground glass can be reversed holographically. A new collimator is presented which produces a partially collimated beam of increased radiance when placed close to a white (diffusely reflective) source. 1. Introduction Light can be readily diffused by a ground glass or other scattering medium, but the inverse process of collimating diffuse light is not as readily accomplished. A simple light baffle can reject the oblique rays, leaving only the ones in a desired range of directions, at the expense of much loss of light; such a baffle does not collimate the light since no rays are redirected. One may envisage holographic Bragg planes which diffract oblique rays into the direction normal to the plate, but such Bragg planes also diffract the normal rays in an oblique direction, so that no collimation is achieved. In this article we examine conditions under which collimation of diffuse light is possible, present a design for such a collimator, and present experimental results. 2. Limitations associated with the second law of thermodynamics A collimator for a diffuse source will transform a disordered system into a more ordered one. Consequently limitations associated with the second law of thermodynamics are to be considered.
