Proposed dielectric-based microstructure laser-driven undulator

چکیده
We describe a proposed all-dielectric laser-driven undulator for the generation of coherent short wavelengths and explore the required electron beam parameters for its operation. The key concept for this laser-driven undulator is its ability to provide phase synchronicity between the deflection force from the laser and the electron beam for a distance that is much greater than the laser wavelength. Because of the possibility of high-peak electric fields from ultrashort pulse lasers on dielectric materials, the proposed undulator is expected to produce phase-synchronous GV=m deflection fields on a relativistic electron bunch and therefore lead to a very compact free electron based radiation device.

Proposed laser-driven, dielectric microstructure few-cm long undulator for attosecond coherent X-rays
This article presents the concept of an all-dielectric laser-driven undulator for the generation of coherent X-rays. The proposed laser-driven undulator is expected to produce internal deflection forces equivalent to a severalTesla magnetic field acting on a speed-of-light particle. The key idea for this laser-driven undulator is its ability to provide phase synchronicity between the deflection...
متن کاملPlasma undulator based on laser excitation of wakefields in a plasma channel.
An undulator is proposed based on the plasma wakefields excited by a laser pulse in a plasma channel. Generation of the undulator fields is achieved by inducing centroid oscillations of the laser pulse in the channel. The period of such an undulator is proportional to the Rayleigh length of the laser pulse and can be submillimeter, while preserving high undulator strength. The electron trajecto...
متن کاملDesign Features of a Planar Hybrid/permanent Magnet Strong-focusing Undulator for Free Electron Laser (fel) and Synchrotron Radiation (sr) Applications*
Insertion devices for Ångstrom-wavelength Free Electron Laser (FEL) amplifiers driven by multi-GeV electron beams generally require distributed focusing substantially stronger than their own natural focusing fields. Over the last several years a wide variety of focusing schemes and configurations have been proposed for undulators of this class, ranging from conventional current-driven quadrupol...

Terawatt-scale sub-10-fs laser technology – key to generation of GW-level attosecond pulses in X-ray free electron laser Abstract We propose a technique for the production of attosecond X-ray pulses which is based on the use of X-ray SASE FEL combined with a femtosecond laser system. A few-cycle optical pulse from a Ti:sapphire laser interacts with the electron beam in a two-period undulator re...
متن کاملInvestigation of Beam Alignment Monitor Technologies for the LCLS FEL Undulator?
To maintain gain in the proposed 100 m long linac-driven Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Free Electron Laser (FEL) undulator, the electron and photon beams must propagate colinearly to within -5 urn rms over distances comparable to the 11.7 m FEL gain length in the 6 mm diameter undulator vacuum chamber. We have considered a variety of intercepting and non-intercepting position monitor techn...
