	A beam profile monitor utilizing the technological advances in fiber optic manufacturing to obtain micron level resolution is under development at RadiaBeam Technologies. This fiber-optic profiling device would provide a low cost, turn-key solution with nominal operational supervision and requires minimal beamline real estate. Preliminary results of Cherenkov light generation in fiber is presented.

WEPPP040	Progress Report on Development of Novel Ultrafast Mid-IR Laser System	2810

	Finding alternate acceleration mechanisms that can provide very high gradients is of particular interest to the accelerator community. Those mechanisms are often based on either dielectric laser acceleration or laser wakefield acceleration techniques, which would greatly benefit from mid-IR ultrafast high peak power laser systems. The approach of this proposed work is to design a novel ultrafast mid-IR laser system based on optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA). OPCPA is a technique ideally suited for production of ultrashort laser pulses at the center wavelength of 2μm-5μm. Some of the key features of OPCPA are the wavelength agility, broad spectral bandwidth and negligible thermal load. This paper reports on the progress of the development of the ultrafast mid-IR laser system.

	Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) is a promising approach towards achieving high intensity, directional beams of quasi-monochromatic gammas, which could offer unique capabilities in research, medical and security applications. Practicality implementation of ICS sources, however, depends on the ability to achieve high peak brightness (~0.1-1.0 ICS photons per interacting electron), while increasing electron-laser beam interaction rate to about 10,000 cps. We discuss the results of the initial experimental work at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at BNL to demonstrate ICS interaction in a pulse-train regime, using a novel laser recirculation scheme termed Recirculation Injection by Nonlinear Gating (RING). Initial experimental results and outlook are presented.
