Status of the Jefferson Lab IR/UV High Average Power Light Source
Jefferson Lab is in the process of building an upgrade to our Free-Electron Laser Facility with broad wavelength range and timing flexibility. The facility will have two cw free-electron lasers, one in the infrared operating from 1 to 14 microns and one in the infrared operating from 0.25 to 1 micron [1]. In addition, there will be beamlines for Thompson-backscattered femtosecond X-rays, and broadband THz radiation. The average power levels for each of these devices will exceed any other available sources by at least 2 orders of magnitude. Timing of the available laser pulses can be continuously mode-locked at least 4 different (MHz) repetition rates or in macropulse mode with pulses of a few microseconds in duration with a repetition rate of many kHz. The status of the construction of this facility and a review of its capabilities will be presented.
