Abstract

An apparatus for producing coherent radiation ranging from X-rays to the far ultraviolet (i.e., 1 Kev to 10 eV) utilizing the Compton scattering effect. A photon beam from a laser is scattered on a high energy electron bunch from a pulse power linac. The short wavelength radiation produced by such scattering has sufficient intensity and spatial coherence for use in high resolution applications such as microscopy.

Modular approach to the next generation, short wavelength, laser-like light sources

Patent Biedron, Sandra Gail; Freund, Henry Philip; Milton, Stephen Val

A system and method for implementing a next generation laser-like light source with Free Electron Lasers (FELs) are provided whereby the construction of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) is customized through the use of individual modules having specified characteristics. Such individual modules include conventional lasers, electron guns, linear accelerators, magnetic bunch compressors and permanent magnet, hybrid, and electromagnetic, undulators or a combination of these undulators. These individual modules are arranged to exploit the occurring fundamental and nonlinear harmonics generated in each SP HG FEL to be used themselves as a light source, or alternatively to be a coherent seed formore »« less

Measuring short electron bunch lengths using coherent smith-purcell radiation

Patent Nguyen, Dinh C [Los Alamos, NM]

A method is provided for directly determining the length of sub-picosecond electron bunches. A metallic grating is formed with a groove spacing greater than a length expected for the electron bunches. The electron bunches are passed over the metallic grating to generate coherent and incoherent Smith-Purcell radiation. The angular distribution of the coherent Smith-Purcell radiation is then mapped to directly deduce the length of the electron bunches.

Superconducting source for tunable coherent terahertz radiation

Patent Koshelev, Alexei E.; Ozyuzer, Lutfi; Kurter, Cihan; ...

A system includes a solid state source of THz radiation and a detector. The source of THz radiation may be based on a superconducting material, such as materials containing one or more Josephson junctions (e.g. BSCCO). The source may include a crystal of superconducting material on which a mesa of superconducting material is formed. The resonant coupling between the Josephson oscillations and the fundamental cavity mode of the mesa may lead to synchronization of the Josephson junctions and emission of powerful THz radiation. The mesa may be formed and/or handled such that THz radiation can be emitted by the materialmore »« less

Apparatus for generating coherent infrared energy of selected wavelength

Patent Stevens, Charles G [Danville, CA]

A tunable source (11) of coherent infrared energy includes a heat pipe (12) having an intermediate region (24) at which cesium (22) is heated to vaporizing temperature and end regions (27, 28) at which the vapor is condensed and returned to the intermediate region (24) for reheating and recirculation. Optical pumping light (43) is directed along the axis of the heat pipe (12) through a first end window (17) to stimulate emission of coherent infrared energy which is transmitted out through an opposite end window (18). A porous walled tubulation (44) extends along the axis of the heat pipe (12)more »« less

Low work function surface layers produced by laser ablation using short-wavelength photons

Patent Balooch, Mehdi [Berkeley, CA]; Dinh, Long N [Concord, CA]; Siekhaus, Wigbert J [Berkeley, CA]

Short-wavelength photons are used to ablate material from a low work function target onto a suitable substrate. The short-wavelength photons are at or below visible wavelength. The elemental composition of the deposit is controlled by the composition of the target and the gaseous environment in which the ablation process is performed. The process is carried out in a deposition chamber to which a short-wavelength laser is mounted and which includes a substrate holder which can be rotated, tilted, heated, or cooled. The target material is mounted onto a holder that spins the target during laser ablation. In addition, the depositionmore »« less
