超热电子的产生与输运背向辐射的测量

报道了在20TWfs激光器上采用电子磁谱仪和光学CCD积分成像相机分别对激光固体靶相互作用在靶背方向产生的超热电子能谱及其光学渡越辐射进行的测量。能谱测量结果显示:超热电子能谱呈双温类麦克斯韦分布,拟合的温度分别为90和280keV,平均温度为185keV,这与已知的温度定标率较好地吻合。光学渡越辐射测量结果显示:光学渡越辐射是由于超热电子输运穿越固体靶所致,而辐射区域呈圆盘状、有发散角、有光强分布。如果考虑超热电子的产生和加热机制,则占主导地位的加热机制是共振吸收对电子的加热。

Gain measurements versus theory for the ACO storage ring laser

We discuss the gain measurements made on the Orsay storage ring free electron laser, and show that the peak measured gain is identical to that predicted by a modified theory which takes into account the electron trajectory distortions. This is the first free electron laser experiment in which the quality of the data is sufficiently good to permit a detailed verification of the Madey theorem.     

Assessment of free electron lasers

Free electron lasers represent a radical alternative to conventional lasers, being potentially the most flexible, high power and efficient generators of coherent radiation from the ultra-violet to the far infra-red. In this review the properties of free electron lasers are discussed from both a theoretical and an experimental viewpoint, and some likely areas of application for these devices are outlined.     

Proposal for an x-ray free electron laser oscillator with intermediate energy electron beam

Harmonic lasing of low-gain free electron laser oscillators has been experimentally demonstrated in the terahertz and infrared regions. Recently, the low-gain oscillator has been reconsidered as a promising candidate for hard x-ray free electron lasers, through the use of high reflectivity, high-resolution x-ray crystals. In this Letter, it is proposed to utilize a crystal-based cavity resonant at a higher harmonic of the undulator radiation, together with phase shifting, to enable harmonic lasing of the x-ray free electron laser oscillator, and hence allow the generation of hard x-ray radiation at a reduced electron beam energy. Results show that fully coherent free electron laser radiation with megawatt peak power, in the spectral region of 10-25 keV, can be generated with a 3.5 GeV electron beam.     

Evidence of high harmonics from echo-enabled harmonic generation for seeding x-ray free electron lasers

Echo-enabled harmonic generation free electron lasers hold great promise for the generation of fully coherent radiation in x-ray wavelengths. Here we report the first evidence of high harmonics from the echo-enabled harmonic generation technique in the realistic scenario where the laser energy modulation is comparable to the beam slice energy spread. In this experiment, coherent radiation at the seventh harmonic of the second seed laser is generated when the energy modulation amplitude is about 2-3 times the slice energy spread. The experiment confirms the underlying physics of echo-enabled harmonic generation and may have a strong impact on emerging seeded x-ray free electron lasers that are capable of generating laserlike x rays which will advance many areas of science.     

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.     

Parametric interaction and backward wave oscillation in stimulated compton scattering

Stimulated Compton-Raman scattering and free electron lasers are formulated as parametric (four-photon) or three-wave interaction processes. Manley-Rowe relations and depletable pump equations are derived for both free electron lasers and optical klystron schemes. A process of backward wave oscillation is predicted when a pump radiation field is back scattered off a codirectionally propagating e beam with frequency down conversion. A practicable experiment in the optical regime is proposed to demonstrate this effect.     

Modelling dynamics of samples exposed to free-electron-laser radiation with Boltzmann equations

We apply Boltzmann equations for modelling the radiation damage in samples irradiated by photons from free electron lasers (FELs). We test this method in a study case of a spherically symmetric xenon cluster irradiated with VUV FEL photons. Qualitative agreement between the model predictions and experimental data is found. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of the Boltzmann method for describing the complex and non-equilibrium dynamics of samples exposed to FEL radiation.     

X-ray amplification by laser controlled coherent bremsstrahlung

A coherent x-ray generation scheme is proposed which involves characteristics of free electron lasers and atomic high harmonic generation schemes. A thin solid layer or any other periodic atomic structure with limited dimensions is exposed to a short, superintense laser pulse. The electrons are extracted from the layer due to the extreme force and penetrate periodically through the ionic structure. Consequently, thousands of harmonics of the laser radiation field are shown to coherently amplify along the interaction length. The small signal gain of the generated x-ray radiation exceeds that arising from the multiphoton Compton process in plasmas and is competitive with that in the leading x-ray free electron lasers.
