COHERENT THz MEASUREMENTS AT THE METROLOGY LIGHT SOURCE
The Metrology Light Source (MLS) [1] is the first storage ring optimized for THz generation [2]. It applies a bunch shortening mode, based on a flexible momentum compaction factor ’α’ optics. The short bunches emit coherent THz radiation. We report on measured THz signals as a function of different machine parameters. Two type of measurements are presented in this paper. The first part presents...
متن کاملCHARACTERIZING THz COHERENT SYNCHROTRON RADIATION AT THE ANKA STORAGE RING∗†
In a synchrotron radiation source coherent infrared (IR) radiation is emitted when the bunch length is comparable to the wavelength of the emitted radiation. To generate coherent THz (far IR) radiation, the ANKA storage ring is operated regularly in a dedicated low-alpha optics. Different bunch lengths, corresponding to different spectral ranges of the THz spectrum and various electron beam ene...
متن کاملTHz BURSTING THRESHOLDS MEASURED AT THE METROLOGY LIGHT SOURCE
At the Metrology Light Source (MLS) [1] owned by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) the bunch length can be varied by more than two orders of magnitude [2]. The bunch length manipulation is achieved by varying different machine parameters, such as RF-voltage amplitude up to 500 kV and the momentum compaction factor α over three orders of magnitude. The subject of this article is th...
متن کاملSteady-state microbunching in a storage ring for generating coherent radiation.
Synchrotrons and storage rings deliver radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at high repetition rates, and free electron lasers produce radiation pulses with high peak brightness. However, at present few light sources can generate both high repetition rates and high brightness outside the optical range. We propose to create steady-state microbunching (SSMB) in a storage ring to produce ...
متن کاملCoherent Cherenkov radiation as an intense THz source
Diffraction and Cherenkov radiation of relativistic electrons from a dielectric target has been proposed as mechanism for production of intense terahertz (THz) radiation. The use of an extremely short high-energy electron beam of a 4th generation light source (X-ray free electron laser) appears to be very promising. A moderate power from the electron beam can be extracted and converted into THz...
