First demonstration of the echo-enabled harmonic generation technique for short-wavelength seeded free electron lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the first experimental demonstration of the echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) technique which holds great promise for generation of high power, fully coherent short-wavelength radiation. In this experiment, coherent radiation at the 3rd and 4th harmonic of the second seed laser is generated from the so-called beam echo effect. The experiment confirms the physics behind this technique and paves the way for applying the EEHG technique for seeded x-ray free electron lasers.

متن کاملEvidence of high harmonics from echo-enabled harmonic generation for seeding x-ray free electron lasers.
Echo-enabled harmonic generation free electron lasers hold great promise for the generation of fully coherent radiation in x-ray wavelengths. Here we report the first evidence of high harmonics from the echo-enabled harmonic generation technique in the realistic scenario where the laser energy modulation is comparable to the beam slice energy spread. In this experiment, coherent radiation at th...
متن کاملEffects of Energy Chirp on Echo-enabled Harmonic Generation Free-electron Lasers∗
Due to the lack of coherent seed at the x-ray wavelengths, a SASE FEL is the most straightforward method to build an x-ray FEL. However, the temporal coherence of a SASE FEL is limited because the process starts from electron shot noise. To overcome this limitation, an ultraviolet seed laser may be used to interact with the electron beam in order to create density modulations at higher harmonic...
متن کاملEcho-enabled x-ray vortex generation.
A technique to generate high-brightness electromagnetic vortices with tunable topological charge at extreme ultraviolet and x-ray wavelengths is described. Based on a modified version of echo-enabled harmonic generation for free-electron lasers, the technique uses two lasers and two chicanes to produce high-harmonic microbunching of a relativistic electron beam with a corkscrew distribution tha...
متن کاملA proof-of-principle echo-enabled harmonic generation free electron laser experiment at SLAC
With the advent of X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FELs), new methods have been developed to extend capabilities at short wavelengths beyond Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE). In particular, seeding of a FEL allows for temporal control of the radiation pulse and increases the peak brightness by orders of magnitude. Most recently, Gennady Stupakov and colleagues at SLAC proposed a new techn...
