Abstract

The echo-enabled harmonic generation free electron laser (EEHG FEL) holds great promise in generation of coherent soft x-ray directly from a UV seed laser within one stage. The density modulation in the harmonic generation process is affected by the smearing effect caused by the fluctuations of energy and current along the beam, as well as the field error of the dispersive elements. In this paper we study the tolerance of the EEHG FEL on beam quality and field quality. The diffusion effect from incoherent synchrotron radiation (ISR) in the dispersion sections and the second modulator are also studied.

Journal Article Xiang, D ; Stupakov, G ; /SLAC - Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams

In this paper, we systematically study the echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) free electron laser (FEL). The EEHG FEL uses two modulators in combination with two dispersion sections that allow to generate in the beam a high harmonic density modulation starting with a relatively small initial energy modulation of the beam. After presenting analytical theory of the phenomenon, we address several practically important issues, such as the effect of incoherent synchrotron radiation in the dispersion sections, and the beam transverse size effect in the modulator. Using a representative realistic set of beam parameters, we show how the EEHG scheme enhances themore »« less

A Proof-Of-Principle Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation Experiment at SLAC

Conference Dunning, Michael ; /SLAC ; Colby, Eric ; ... - Conf.Proc.C100523:TUPE069,2010

In this paper we describe the technical design of an ongoing proof-of-principle echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) experiment at the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) at SLAC.We present the design considerations and the technical details of the experiment. Recently a new method, entitled echo-enabled harmonic generation, was proposed for generation of high harmonics using the beam echo effect. In an EEHG free electron laser (FEL), an electron beam is energy modulated in a modulator and then sent through a dispersive section with a high dispersion strength. After this first stage, the modulation obtained in the modulator is macroscopically washed out,more »« less

Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation

Conference Stupakov, Gennady

A recently proposed concept of the Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation (EEHG) FEL uses two laser modulators in combination with two dispersion sections to generate a high-harmonic density modulation in a relativistic beam. This seeding technique holds promise of a one-stage soft x-ray FEL that radiates not only transversely but also longitudinally coherent pulses. Currently, an experimental verification of the concept is being conducted at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory aimed at the demonstration of the EEHG.

Thesis/Dissertation Pernet, Pierre-Louis

With the advent of X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FELs), new methods have been developed to extend capabilities at short wavelengths beyond Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE). In particular, seeding of a FEL allows for temporal control of the radiation pulse and increases the peak brightness by orders of magnitude. Most recently, Gennady Stupakov and colleagues at SLAC proposed a new technique: Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation (EEHG). Here a laser microbunches the beam in an undulator and the beam is sheared in a chicane. This process is repeated with a second laser, undulator and chicane. The interplay between these allows a seeding ofmore »« less
