100微米自由电子激光研究进展

自由电子激光器（FEL）是一种将相对论性电子的动能变换成电磁辐射的装置。电子束和电磁波沿摇摆器在同一直线上传输，摇摆器使电子产生横向的速度分量，实现电子和辐射场之间的能量交换。从电子束抽取的动能转换成电磁辐射，辐射的波长决定于电子束的能量和摇摆器参数。FEL具有波长连续可调、可获得高功率和光束品质好等优点，在军事上和基础科学研究中有很好的应用前景，美国、日本以及一些欧洲国家对自由电子激光的研究极为重视，并得到了很好的成果。2004年7月美国的JLAB实验室获得了10kW的自由电子激光，使人们对自由电子激光在激光武器中的定位进行了重新思考，从而掀起了又一轮世界范围内的自由电子激光研究热潮。

Effect of normalized plasma frequency on electron phase-space orbits in a free-electron laser

Irregular phase-space orbits of the electrons are harmful to the electron-beam transport quality and hence deteriorate the performance of a free-electron laser （FEL）. In previous literature, it was demonstrated that the irregularity of the electron phase-space orbits could be caused in several ways, such as varying the wiggler amplitude and inducing sidebands. Based on a Hamiltonian model with a set of self-consistent differential equations, it is shown in this paper that the electron- beam normalized plasma frequency functions not only couple the electron motion with the FEL wave, which results in the evolution of the FEL wave field and a possible power saturation at a large beam current, but also cause the irregularity of the electron phase-space orbits when the normalized plasma frequency has a sufficiently large value, even if the initial energy of the electron is equal to the synchronous energy or the FEL wave does not reach power saturation.     

激光电子散射中的最大可能增益

借鉴自由电子激光(FEL)发展之初Madey对自由电子激光器中受激辐射引起的增益的讨论,通过在激光场中的量子电动力学(QED)的模型中引入激光电子系统初态态密度以及由不确定的系统初态到确定光子末态的跃迁速率,推导了激光电子正碰过程中受激辐射至单一电磁模式产生的最大可能增益。采用成功得到X射线或$\gamma $射线光子的三个激光电子Compton背散射实验的实验参数计算了激光电子散射过程中的最大可能增益,与第一台X射线自由电子激光(XFEL)中的最大可能增益作比较,进而对激光电子散射作为激光光源的可行性进行评估。计算结果表明,现有的能够得到X射线光子或$\gamma $射线光子的激光电子散射实验中的最大可能增益远低于第一台XFEL中的。本工作未能找到合适的激光电子参数以获得比第一台XFEL中更高的最大可能增益,但是在入射电磁波位于射频波段范围内找到了能够实现较高增益的参数组合。     

Efficiency and sideband observations of a Raman FEL oscillator witha tapered undulator

Power and spectral measurements are reported from the Columbia Raman free-electron laser (FEL) oscillator experiment. High-power radiation pulses (~12 MW, 100 ns) are generated at a wavelength of ~2.5 mm, using a 750-kV electron beam injected into a helical undulator. The undulator is made up of a 40-cm long constant-period (1.45 cm) section followed by an equal length of tapered undulator. The period is decreased by 7.6% in such a way that the on-axis field remains constant. It is reported that the taper allows an increase in total power efficiency from ~4 to ~12%. Most noteworthy is that the tapered undulator reduces the sideband radiation compared with a constant-period undulator FEL which is studied in the same configuration. The power was measured calorimetrically and compared with the results of a 1-D Raman code. The reduction of sideband power observed in the experiment was consistent with computational results obtained with a 2-D sideband code

Physical design of a wavelength tunable fully coherent VUV source using a self-seeding free electron laser

In order to meet the requirements of the synchrotron radiation users, a fully coherent VUV free electron laser (FEL) has been preliminarily designed. One important goal of this design is that the radiation wavelength can be easily tuned in a broad range (70—170 nm). In the light of the users' demand and our actual conditions, the self-seeding scheme is adopted for this proposal. Firstly, we attempted to fix the electron energy and only changed the undulator gap to vary the radiation wavelength; however, our analysis implies that this is difficult because of the great difference of the power gain length and FEL efficiency at different wavelengths. Therefore, we have considered dividing the wavelength range into three subareas. In each subarea, a constant electron energy is used and the wavelength tuning is realized only by adjusting the undulator gap. The simulation results show that this scheme has an acceptable performance.

Monte carlo analysis of a free electron laser in a storage ring

This paper contains studies of the operation of a one-dimensional storage ring free-electron laser (FEL) using a Monte Carlo technique to generate the electron energy fluctuations produced by the FEL. The energy and phase equations of motion have been numerically integrated to calculate equilibrium values of: a) electron energy spread, b) electron phase spread (e.g. electron bunch length), and c) efficiency of conversion of electron energy into laser radiation. The operation of the storage ring free-electron laser was studied for five different FEL magnet designs. It is found that a “one-dimensional” storage ring free-electron laser can operate on a steady-state basis only with reduced overall efficiency due to the inability of the system to damp effectively the electron energy fluctuations produced by the FEL. Results of operation of a SRFEL in a pulsed mode are also presented. Work supported by U.S. Army BMD-ATC, under contract number DASG 60-77-C-0083.     

Investigation of mechanism of free electron laser through spontaneous radiation spectrum

In this paper, the mechanism of free electron laser with a guide magnetic field is investigated by analyzing spontaneous radiation spectrum of electrons. The physical relation between spontaneous radiation and stimulated radiation in FEL with a guide magnetic field is studied. It is found that this relation in FEL is similar to that in quantum lasers. The spontaneous radiation spectrum is discrete. The frequency of stimulated radiation in FEL is oneselected and amplified in the radiation spectrum.
