Krinsky, S

It is reasonable to expect that in the coming years the importance of wigglers and undulators to facilities with electron storage rings designed for and dedicated to synchrotron radiation research will increase. This paper discusses some of the properties of the radiation from these devices and some of the considerations which arise in their design and use in storage rings. The properties of wiggler radiation are describable in terms of the characteristics of synchrotron radiation from arc sources. These characteristics are well-known and well-documented. Undulator radiation, on the other hand, is less familiar, and thus receives the emphasis of this paper, which first reviews the spectral properties of the radiation and the complementary aspects of time-domain and frequency-domain analyses, then explores the brightness of the undulator source, and finally considers some limitations associated with operating an undulator in a storage ring.
