Single-Shot Spectral Analysis of Synchrotron Radiation in THz Regime at ANKA

چکیده
Micro-bunching instabilities limit the longitudinal compression of bunches in an electron storage ring. They create substructures on the bunch profile of some hundred micrometer size leading to coherently emitted synchrotron radiation in the THz range. To detect the changing THz spectrum, single-shot bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn measurements are necessary. We present recent experiments at ANKA where the spectral information is extracted by simultaneous detection with several narrowband THz detectors, each of them sensitive in a different frequency range.

Spectral Analysis of Micro-Bunching Instabilities using Fast THz Detectors
Micro-bunching instabilities occur at synchrotron light sources when the particle density rises due to compression of the electron bunches. They lead to powerful bursts of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the THz range at the cost of very unstable intensity and spectral properties, highly fluctuating on a millisecond time scale. For interferometry this changing source demands a long aver...
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 کاملNON-INTERFEROMETRIC SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION IN THE THz REGIME AT ANKA
Interferometry is the quasi-standard for spectral measurements in the THzand IR-range. The frequency resolution, however, is limited by the travel range of the interferometer mirrors. Therefore, a resolution in the low megahertz range would require interferometer arms of about 100m. As an alternative, heterodyne measurements provide a resolution in the Hertz range, an improvement of 6 orders of...
متن کاملSystematic Studies of Short Bunch-length Bursting at Anka
At ANKA, the Karlsruhe synchrotron radiation source, the so called short bunch-length operation mode allows the reduction of the bunch length down to a few picoseconds. The micro-bunching instability resulting from the high degree of longitudinal compression leads to fluctuations in the emitted intensity in the THz regime, referred to as bursting. For extremely compressed bunches at ANKA bursti...
متن کاملA simple optical spectral calibration technique for pulsed THz sources.
We have quantified the sensitivity of a simple method to measure the frequency spectrum of pulsed terahertz (THz) radiation. The THz pulses are upconverted to the optical regime by sideband generation in a zinc telluride (ZnTe) crystal using a continuous wave (cw) narrow-bandwidth near-infrared laser. A single-shot spectral measurement of sideband pulses with a high resolution spectrometer dire...
