  Under KAERI WCI program we develop a compact pulsed microtron-driven FEL. Electron bunches trains are accelerated in the microtron and transported by the beamline to the undulator. The RF cavity in the microtron is fed by a magnetron. Any accelerator driver for a FEL should provide an electron beam having very stable parameters such as electron energy, current, and especially the bunch repetition rate in a train. All mentioned parameters depend on magnetron current. It means that special attention should be paid for the shape of the current pulse, supplied to the magnetron from the modulator. We developed the modulator project with a computer control that will provide an arbitrary shape of the magnetron current. A simplified prototype was fabricated and tested. The methods of controlling of the pulse shape are considered. Simulation and experimental results are presented.

  In today's world there is a significant demand for FEL-based THz radiation sources. They have a wide tuning range, a narrow band of radiation, and comparably high peak and average emission power. There are a significant number of these machines in the world, operating or in the development. The main difference between a long-wave FEL, of THz or a millimeter band, and a conventional one is a too big transverse size of the fundamental mode of an open optical resonator. It claims a large gap in an undulator that dramatically decreases its strength. Both factors sorely decrease the amplification and the efficiency, and often make lasing impossible. The main way to solve this problem is to use a waveguide optical resonator. It decreases and controls the transverse size of the fundamental mode. However, the waveguide causes a number of problems: power absorption in its walls; higher modes generation by inhomogeneities, as it is not ideal; electron beam injection into a FEL is more sophisticated; also outcoupling is more complicated; finally, the resonator detuning control claims some special solutions. The waveguide dispersion relation differs from one in the free space. It shifts up the wavelength of the FEL, changes the optimal detuning, and creates a parasitic mode near the critical wavelength of the waveguide. These problems and possible solutions to them are considered.
