The New UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara) Compact Far-Infrared FEL.

Abstract

A 2 mega-volt electrostatic accelerator is being acquired by the FEL development group at UCSB. This machine is being designed to provide an exceptionally low emittance electron beam suitable for a wide range of FEL related experiments. Foremost among these will be development of a compact submillimeter FEL employing next generation electrostatic accelerator FEL concepts. It is expected that this machine will serve as prototype for a new generation of FELs all based on commercially available electrostatic accelerators ranging in voltage from .5 to 25 Megavolts. High voltage tests are expected to begin as early as 1988. Keywords: Undulators; Electron beam optics, Optical coupling, Free electron lasers.
