  Kyoto University Free Electron Laser (KU-FEL) is an oscillator type mid-infrared FEL having the tunable wavelength range from 5 to 22 micro-m [1]. The first lasing and power saturation of the facility using a 4.5-cell RF gun with a LaB6 thermionic cathode has been achieved in 2008 by overcoming the severe back-bombardment effect in the RF gun [2,3]. For upgrading the FEL performance, a multi-bunch picosecond mode-locked laser has been developed for driving a photocathode in the RF gun [4]. In February 2015, we have achieved first lasing of KU-FEL with photocathode operation of the LaB6 cathode in the 4.5-cell RF gun. The micro-pulse energy of the FEL at the wavelength of 11.7 micro-m with the photocathode operation was around 6.5 times as high as that with the thermionic cathode operation without any other modification of the FEL system. The performance of KU-FEL in the photocathode operation mode and comparison with the thermionic cathode operation will be presented in the conference.

  Development of next generation light sources requires reduction of beam emittance. The emittance can be influenced in the vicinity of a cathode, where electron energy is low and the beam dynamics is dominated by space charge and image charge effect. Recently it was discovered that for ideal DC acceleration emittance rises near cathode and subsequently decreases due to self-linearization force caused by space charge effect [*]. This phenomenon occurs for accelerating field, which is lower than usually applied at conventional electron guns. It is an issue that this concept is feasible for electron gun configuration of real injectors. In this research we numerically investigate the transverse emittance and its dependence on parameters such as current density, accelerating field and the distance from the cathode. As a result, the position of minimal emittance was found to be correlated to perveance. This position can be varied by proper settings of parameters. In this conference, we will present these phenomena seen numerically in the SCSS thermionic gun geometry.

  Coherent control of a lattice vibration in bulk solid (mode-selective phonon excitation: MSPE) is one of the attractive methods in the solid state physics because it becomes a powerful tool for the study of ultrafast lattice dynamics (e.g. electron-phonon interaction and phonon-phonon interaction). Not only for that, MSPE can control electronic, magnetic, and structural phases of materials. In 2013, we have directly demonstrated MSPE of a bulk material with MIR-FEL (KU-FEL) by anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy. For the next step, we are starting a phonon dynamics measurement to investigate the difference of physical property between thermally excited phonon (phonon of equilibrium state) and optically excited phonon (phonon of non-equilibrium state) by time-resolved method in combination with a pico-second VIS laser. By using pico-second laser, we also expect to perform the anti-Stokes hyper-Raman scattering spectroscopy to extend MSPE method to the phonon mode which has Raman inactive . As the first step, we have commissioned the time-resolved phonon measurement system and started measurement on 6H-SiC. In this conference, we will present the outline of measurement system, and experimental results.
