Study on the characteristics of linac based THz light source

There are many methods based on linac for THz radiation production. As one of the options for the Beijing Advanced Light, an ERL test facility is proposed for THz radiation. In this test facility, there are 4 kinds of methods to produce THz radiation： coherent synchrotron radiation （CSR）, synchrotron radiation （SR）, low gain FEL oscillator, and high gain SASE FEL. In this paper, we study the characteristics of the 4 kinds of THz light sources.     

Design of a new compact THz source based on Smith-Purcell radiation

In recent years, people are dedicated to the research work of finding compact THz sources with high emission power. Smith-Purcell radiation is qualified for the possibility of coherent enhancement due to the effect of FEL mechanism. The compact experiment device is expected to produce hundreds mW level THz ray. The electron beam with good quality is provided under the optimized design of the electron gun. Besides, the grating is designed as an oscillator without any external feedbacks. While the beam passes through the grating surface, the beam bunching will be strong and the second harmonics enhancement will be evident, as is seen from the simulation results.     

Generation of 0.1 THz coherent synchrotron radiation with compact S-band linac at AIST

The 0.1 THz coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) was successfully generated in the 90° bending magnet of the compact S-band linac with the achromatic arc section using the ultra-short electron bunch which has the energy of 40 MeV, the bunch charge of about 1nc and the bunch length less than 1 ps (rms). The electron bunch compression of 1 nC electron bunch was achieved less than 1 ps (rms) by controlling the Q-magnets in the achromatic arc section as the bunch length was measured by the rms bunch length monitor.

Compact narrow-band THz radiation source based on photocathode rf gun

Narrow-band THz coherent Cherenkov radiation can be driven by a subpicosecond electron bunch trav- eling along the axis of a hollow cylindrical dielectric-lined waveguide. We present a scheme of compact THz radiation source based on the photocathode rf gun. On the basis of our analytic result, the subpicosecond electron bunch with high charge （800 pC） can be generated directly in the photocathode rf gun. According to the analytical and simulated results, a narrow emission spectrum peaked at 0.24 THz with 2 megawatt （MW） peak power is expected to gain in the proposed scheme （the length of the facility is about 1.2 m）.
