Funding: This work was supported by NSF grant PHY-1734215 and DOE grant No. DE-SC0009914 and DE-SC0021190. The undulator construction has been carried out under SBIR/STTR DE-SC0017102 and DE-SC0018559. Free electron lasers are an attractive option for high average and peak power radiation in the THz gap, a region of the electromagnetic spectrum where radiation sources are scarce, as the required beam and undulator parameters are readily achievable with current technology. However, slippage effects require the FEL to be driven with relatively long and low current electron bunches, limiting amplification gain and output power. Previous work demonstrated that a waveguide could be used to match the radiation and e-beam velocities in a meter-long strongly-tapered helical undulator, resulting in 10\% energy extraction from an ultrashort 200 pC, 5.5 MeV electron beam. We present simulations for a follow-up experiment targeting higher frequencies with improvements to the e-beam transport including a permanent magnet chicane for strong beam compression. FEL simulations show >20\% extraction efficiency from a 125 pC, 7.4 MeV electron beam at 0.32 THz. |

TUPOPT038 | FAST-GREENS: A High Efficiency Free Electron Laser Driven by Superconducting RF Accelerator | 1094 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by DOE grants DE-SC0017102, DE-SC0018559 and DE-SC0009914 In this paper we’ll describe the FAST-GREENS experimental program where a 4 m-long strongly tapered helical undulator with a seeded prebuncher is used in the high gain TESSA regime to convert a significant fraction (up to 10 %) of energy from the 240 MeV electron beam from the FAST linac to coherent 515 nm radiation. We’ll also discuss the longer term plans for the setup where by embedding the undulator in an optical cavity matched with the high repetition rate from the superconducting accelerator (3,9 MHz), a very high average power laser source can be obtained. Eventually, the laser pulses can be redirected onto the relativistic electrons to generate by inverse compton scattering a very high flux of circularly polarized gamma rays for polarized positron production. |
