An IR and THz FEL with a design wavelength range from 4 to 500 μm has been commissioned at the Fritz-Haber-Institut (FHI) in Berlin, Germany, for applications in, i.a., molecular and cluster spectroscopy as well as surface science.[1] The linac[2] comprises two S-band standing-wave copper structures. The first one operates at near fixed field to accelerate the electrons to 20 MeV, while the second one is designed to accelerate (or decelerate) to any final energy between 15 and 50 MeV. A key aspect of the system is low longitudinal emittance, <50 keV-psec, at more than 200 pC bunch charge with a max.μpulse rep. rate of 1 GHz. The up to 15 μs long macro pulses come at a rate of up to 20 Hz. The electrons are steered through either one of two FELs. A single-plane-focusing, 40 mm period wedged-pole hybrid undulator[3] combined with a 5.4 m long cavity has been commissioned for the mid-IR (<50 μm). In addition, a two-plane-focusing undulator in combination with a 7.2 m long cavity with a 1-d waveguide for the optical mode is planned for the far-IR. In February 2012 we observed 'first lasing' at 28 MeV and 18 μm wavelength. We will present first results characterizing the system.

An electron accelerator and beamline for an IR and THz FEL with a design wavelength range from 4 to 500 μm has been commissioned by Advanced Energy Systems at the Fritz-Haber-Institut (FHI) in Berlin, Germany, for applications in, i.a., molecular and cluster spectroscopy as well as surface science. The linac comprises two S-band standing-wave copper structures and was designed to meet challenging specifications, including a final energy adjustable in the range of 15 to 50 MeV, low longitudinal emittance (<50 keV-psec) and transverse emittance (<20 μm), at more than 200 pC bunch charge with aμpulse repetition rate of 1 GHz. First lasing was achieved February 2012. Operational experience and measured electron beam performance will be presented.
