多光子非线性Compton散射的能量转换

研究了多光子非线性Compton散射中电子与光子的能量转换及其转换效率.结果表明:散射光子频率随电子吸收光子数n的增大而增大,随碰撞非弹性成分ξ的增大而迅速减小.在超强激光场中,当极端相对论性电子与光子发生多光子非线性Compton散射且被光场俘获时,能量转换效率趋于无限大,即电子可以从超强激光场中获得巨大的加速能量.用高速电子束入射并与光子发生多光子非线性Compton散射,是提高非线性Compton散射能量转换效率的重要途径.

自由电子激光的单粒子理论及其应用

本文建立了圆极化摇摆场自由电子激光的单粒子理论,导出了电子未扰轨道及其稳定性判据和自由电子激光单程增益的表达式。单程增益由三项构成,其中第一项即自由电子激光不稳定性的增益与动力学理论得到的指数增益相符。第二项和和三项表明存在一对新的不稳定性——正不稳定性和负不稳定性。该理论没有对电子未扰轨道纵向速度作任何假设,不仅可以更合理地用于常规自由电子激光的研究,而且可以用于短周期摇摆器弱相对论自由电子激光研究。后者由于电子未扰轨道纵向速度比较低,已有的单粒子理论中所作的电子纵向速度约等于光速的假设不再成立。借助数值分析,我们发现:(1)稳定轨道Ⅱ的弱导引场区域也出现了动力学理论描述过的与自由电子激光互作用机理相悖的现象。(2)正不稳定性和负不稳定性在稳定轨道Ⅰ的导引磁场临界值附近可能严重影响自由电子激光的工作。(3)可以使用较弱的短周期摇摆场和较强的导引场产生高频率高增益相干受激辐射。

Amplification and superradiant emission from a 33.3 GHz freeelectron laser with a reversed axial guide magnetic field

A new regime of free-electron laser (FEL) operation using a helical wiggler field and a reversed axial guide magnetic field is reported. The orientation of the axial field is such as to oppose the electron rotation imparted by the helical field. The 33.3-GHz FEL amplifier is driven by a mildly relativistic electron beam (750 kV 300 A, 30 ns) and generates 61 MW of radiation with a 27% conversion efficiency. The results are compared with those obtained when the axial guide field is in its conventional orientation, where considerable loss of power and efficiency is observed     

Nonlinear simulation of a high-power, collective free-electronlaser

Results obtained with the three-dimensional nonlinear analysis and simulation code, ARACHNE, and a recent 33.4-GHz, collective, free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier experiment are compared. The experiment has demonstrated power levels of 61 MW (≈27% efficiency) without recourse to tapered magnetic fields, using a 750-keV/300-A electron beam with a nominal axial energy spread of 1.5% propagating through a cylindrical drift tube in the presence of a helical wiggler and an axial guide magnetic field. Significant differences in the character of the emission were found, depending on the direction of the guide magnetic field. When the wiggler and guide fields were parallel, observed power levels reached approximately 4 MW for both the strong and weak guide field regimes, but vanished in the neighborhood of the magnetic resonance. However, the maximum power was observed in the reversed field case when the wiggler and guide fields were antiparallel. In this case, no resonant enhancement in the transverse velocity is expected to occur; however, a significant reduction in the output power occurred in the neighborhood of the antiresonance. The ARACHNE simulation is in substantial agreement with the experiment     

Gain of a free-electron laser in the Magneto-Compton regime

The gain of a free-electron laser in the presence of a guide magnetic field is calculated for the Raman and Compton regimes. It is found that the external magnetic field enhances the gains, and that for non-monoenergetic relativistic electron beams with a guide magnetic field the Compton process can become important.     

Effects of self-fields on dispersion relation and growth rate in two-stream electromagnetically pumped free electron laser with axial guide magnetic field

A theory for a two-stream free-electron laser （FEL） with an electromagnetic wiggler （EMW） and axial guide magnetic field is developed. In the analysis, the effects of self-fields are taken into account. The growth rate is derived. The characteristics of the growth rate are studied numerically. The dependence of the normalized wave number, which corresponds to the maximum growth rate, on the cyclotron frequency is presented. The comparisons between the normalized maximum growth rate and its corresponding wave number normalized by employing the axial magnetic field, for the cases with and without self-fields in the two-stream FEL are studied numerically.     

Tunable compact high power far-infrared grating free-electron laser

The linear and nonlinear operation of a multiwave grating free-electron laser is described. The radiation is generated by the passage of an annular electron beam through a coaxial waveguide, the central conductor being in the form of a corrugated cylinder. The model includes the effects of self-field forces, beam emittance and gyromotion of electrons in a guide magnetic field. The efficiency is determined by numerical simulation and compared with analytical estimates. A compact source utilizing, for example, a high brightness beam from a carbon fibre electron gun, that is tunable in the wavelength band 35-55 μm with output in the kilowatt range, is shown to be feasible     

Relativistic Cloud-In-Cell Simulation of Free Electron Laser

We have developed one-and a half-dimensional (one space dimension and two velocity components) relativistic electromagnetic cloud-in-cell simulation (CIC-R) code which is suitable for simulating the free-electron laser process. Using CIC-R we have simulated the temporal evolution of the free-electron laser, and obtained the results on the linear growth rates of the unstable spectrum and the dispersion relation of the coupling between the electromagnetic waves and electrostatic waves which agree with the theory. Other results such as the time development of the electron distribution function, nonlinear saturation and the efficiency of energy conversion are also presented in detail.

An exact solution is found for the relativistic equation of motion of a charged particle driven by a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave and a constant magnetic field.
