The Vanderbilt University Free-Electron Laser Center.
Abstract
Vanderbilt University has established a multidisciplinary Free-Electron Laser Center to exploit the opportunities made possible by the free-electron laser for applications in medicine, biology, materials science, and other fields of research. The free-electron laser, which recently began operation, is tunable over the wavelength range from 2 to 10 pim. The device has demonstrated 400 mJ per pulse at a wavelength of 4.8 um, in 6-?is pulses, and an average power of II W at a repetition rate of 30 Hz. Extensions to the X-ray and far-infrared regions are underway. The Center, which will be used by researchers from within the University and from around the world, has already given birth to a variety of interdisciplinary collaborations among scientists brought together by the unique opportunities provided by the Center.
