High-Power Femtosecond Soft X Rays from Fresh-Slice Multistage Free-Electron Lasers
Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate a novel multistage amplification scheme for self-amplified spontaneous-emission free electron lasers for the production of few femtosecond pulses with very high power in the soft x-ray regime. The scheme uses the fresh-slice technique to produce an x-ray pulse on the bunch tail, subsequently amplified in downstream undulator sections by fresh electrons. With three-stages amplification, x-ray pulses with an energy of hundreds of microjoules are produced in few femtoseconds. Finally, for single-spike spectra x-ray pulses the pulse power is increased more than an order of magnitude compared to other techniques in the same wavelength range.

FIG. 1: The electron bunch travelling close to a metal corrugated jaw of the dechirper experiences a strong transverse head-tail kick (yellow arrows). The bunch orbit is controlled to have a tail slice travelling straight in the first undulator section. A magnetic chicane delays the electron bunch to overlap themore »
