Title: Circular free-electron laser

Full Record
Other Related Research

Abstract

A high efficiency, free electron laser utilizing a circular relativistic electron beam accelerator and a circular whispering mode optical waveguide for guiding optical energy in a circular path in the circular relativistic electron beam accelerator such that the circular relativistic electron beam and the optical energy are spatially contiguous in a resonant condition for free electron laser operation. Both a betatron and synchrotron are disclosed for use in the present invention. A free electron laser wiggler is disposed around the circular relativistic electron beam accelerator for generating a periodic magnetic field to transform energy from the circular relativistic electron beam to optical energy.

Free electron laser designs for laser amplification

Patent Prosnitz, Donald [Walnut Creek, CA]; Szoke, Abraham [Fremont, CA]

Method for laser beam amplification by means of free electron laser techniques. With wiggler magnetic field strength B.sub.w and wavelength .lambda..sub.w =2.pi./k.sub.w regarded as variable parameters, the method(s) impose conditions such as substantial constancy of B.sub.w /k.sub.w or k.sub.w or B.sub.w and k.sub.w (alternating), coupled with a choice of either constant resonant phase angle or programmed phase space "bucket" area.

Electron beam magnetic switch for a plurality of free electron lasers

Patent Schlitt, Leland G [Livermore, CA]

Apparatus for forming and utilizing a sequence of electron beam segments, each of the same temporal length (substantially 15 nsec), with consecutive beams being separated by a constant time interval of the order of 3 nsec. The beam sequence is used for simultaneous inputs to a plurality of wiggler magnet systems that also accept the laser beams to be amplified by interaction with the co-propagating electron beams. The electron beams are arranged substantially in a circle to allow proper distribution of and simultaneous switching out of the beam segments to their respective wiggler magnets.

Nanopatterned electron beams for temporal coherence and deterministic phase control of x-ray free-electron lasers

Patent Graves, William

A method includes accelerating an electron bunch along a direction of propagation to a relativistic energy and partitioning the electron bunch by transmitting the electron bunch through a grating at the relativistic energy. The grating includes a plurality of alternating narrow portions and wide portions. The narrow portions have a first thickness in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of the electron bunch, and the wide portions have a second thickness in the direction substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of the electron bunch. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness. The method alsomore » « less

Absorber for wakefield interference management at the entrance of the wiggler of a free electron laser

Patent Marchlik, Matthew; Biallas, George Herman

A method for managing the broad band microwave and TeraHertz (THz) radiation in a free electron laser (FEL) having a wiggler producing power in the electromagnetic spectrum. The method includes placement of broadband microwave and TeraHertz (THz) radiation absorbers on the upstream end of the wiggler. The absorbers dampen the bounced back, broad band microwave and THz radiation returning from the surfaces outside the nose of the cookie-cutter and thus preventing broadening of the electron beam pulse's narrow longitudinal energy distribution. Broadening diminishes the ultimate laser power from the wiggler. The broadband microwave and THz radiation absorbers are placed onmore » « less

High-gain thompson-scattering X-ray free-electron laser by time-synchronic laterally tilted optical wave

Patent Chang, Chao; Tang, Chuanxiang; Wu, Juhao

An improved optical undulator for use in connection with free electron radiation sources is provided. A tilt is introduced between phase fronts of an optical pulse and the pulse front. Two such pulses in a counter-propagating geometry overlap to create a standing wave pattern. A line focus is used to increase the intensity of this standing wave pattern. An electron beam is aligned with the line focus. The relative angle between pulse front and phase fronts is adjusted such that there is a velocity match between the electron beam and the overlapping optical pulses along the line focus.
