Free-Electron Laser Driven by the NBS (National Bureau of Standards) CW Microtron

Abstract

The overall goal of this project is to construct and bring into operation a free-electron laser (FEL) driven by the racetrack microtron (RTM) electron accelerator at NBS. NBS is providing the RTM, radiation shielded laboratory space for the RTM and FEL, and experimental areas. The scope of the project includes: modifying the RTM injector for increased peak current; developing electron beam transport from the RTM to the FEL: developing a wiggler and optical cavity; and developing optical beam transport and diagnostics. Keywords: Electron beam phase stabilization; Laser cavities; Diffraction loss; Infrared lasers.
