Funding: DOE grant DE-FG02-92ER40693 This paper introduces a 1-D, self-consistent simulation of Inverse Free Electron Laser (IFEL) based optical bunchers. Starting with a review of the conventional (monochromatic) IFEL bunching, we consider slow amplitude variation and multiple harmonics of the fundamental radiation wave. We model two new bunching schemes – the adiabatic and harmonic microbuncher and compare the bunching mechanisms between the optical bunchers as well as space charge effects to the modified IFEL interaction. Here, we present a model approximating the space charge fields and verification of the simulation with the well-known Free Electron Laser (FEL) simulator, Genesis 1.3. |
