Coherent Thz Radiation at Elettra

Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the infrared has been observed at ELETTRA since the year 2005 [1] under several machine parameter settings in the SISSI beam line. Effort has been made to produce a “stable” THz signal for experimental use. The description of the machine settings to that end and the measurements performed are presented and discussed.

Fast Orbit Feedback Developments at Elettra

A number of fast local orbit feedback stations are being sequentially installed at ELETTRA to improve the stability of the electron beam at the Insertion Device (ID) source points. They rely on electron Beam Position Monitors equipped with digital detector electronics that provides high precision and readout rate. The local feedback stations will be integrated in a fast global orbit feedback sy...

Tunability experiments at the FERMI@Elettra free-electron laser

FERMI@Elettra is a free electron-laser (FEL)-based user facility that, after two years of commissioning, started preliminary users’ dedicated runs in 2011. At variance with other FEL user facilities, FERMI@Elettra has been designed to deliver improved spectral stability and longitudinal coherence. The adopted scheme, which uses an external laser to initiate the FEL process, has been demonstrate...

Bunch Arrival Monitor at Fermi@elettra

The bunch arrival monitor (BAM) for the IV generation synchrotron light source FERMI@Elettra is presented. It is based on an original idea developed at FLASH/DESY, specifically designed and built in-house for FERMI@Elettra. Each BAM station consists of a frontend module, located in the machine tunnel, and of a backend unit located in the service area. It makes use of the pulsed optical phase re...
