Demonstration of cascaded optical inverse free-electron laser accelerator.
We report on a proof-of-principle demonstration of a two-stage cascaded optical inverse free-electron laser (IFEL) accelerator in which an electron beam is accelerated by a strong laser pulse after being packed into optical microbunches by a weaker initial laser pulse. We show experimentally that injection of precisely prepared optical microbunches into an IFEL allows net acceleration or decele...
متن کاملFeasibility of a Plasma-Filled Inverse Free Electron Laser Accelerator
A high power millimeter (mm) wave, in the presence of a magnetic wiggler, produces a large longitudinal ponderomotive force that can accelerate electrons. When a plasma of density n ~ ncr, where ncr is critical density, is introduced in the interaction region, the ponderomotive force resonantly drives a plasma wave that accelerates electrons to higher energies. However, propagation of the mm wa...
متن کاملInverse Free Electron Laser Accelerators for Driving Compact Light Sources and Detection Applications
Because of the broad application space for compact, 1-2 GeV accelerators, Inverse Free Electron Lasers (IFELs) are enjoying a rebirth of R&D funding. Efforts are under way in industry (RadiaBeam), academia (UCLA), and national laboratories (LLNL and BNL) to develop an ultra-compact IFEL energy booster for the photoinjector driven linear accelerating systems. The RUBICON collaboration integrates...
متن کاملEnergy-gain measurements from a microwave inverse free-electron-laser accelerator.
Experiments are reported on inverse free-electron-laser acceleration, including for the first time observations of the energy change as a function of relative injection phase of the electron bunches. The microwave accelerating structure consists of a uniform circular waveguide with a helical wiggler and an axial magnetic field. Acceleration of the entire beam by 6% is seen for 6 MeV electron bu...
متن کاملHigher harmonic inverse free-electron laser interaction.
We expand the theory of the inverse free electron laser (IFEL) interaction to include the possibility of energy exchange that takes place when relativistic particles traversing an undulator interact with an electromagnetic wave of a frequency that is a harmonic of the fundamental wiggler resonant frequency. We derive the coupling coefficients as a function of the IFEL parameters for all harmoni...
