A seeding configuration, in which the 13th harmonic (60 nm) of a Ti: Sa laser (50 mJ, 10 Hz, 130 fs) generated in a gas cell is used as the external source, will be tested in 2006 on the SCSS test facility (SPring-8 Compact Sase Source, Japan). This facility is based on a thermionic cathode electron gun (1 nC of bunch charge), a C-band LINAC (5712 MHz, 35 MV/m) and two in-vacuum undulators (15 mm of period). The maximum electron beam energy is 250 MeV and the SASE emission from visible to 60 nm can be obtained. The High order Harmonic Generation (HHG) experiment was mounted off-line at the end of last December. A first chamber is dedicated to harmonic generation. A second one is used for spectral selection and adaptation of the harmonic waist in the modulator. The tests are performed in Saclay with the LUCA (Laser Ultra Court Accordable) laser (15 mJ, 10 Hz, 50 fs) from January to March at 266 nm, 160 nm and 60 nm and its results are presented here. Also, before performing the real tests in SPring-8 FEL presence, final theoretical estimations of the performances relying on 1D simulations using PERSEO code and 3D simulations using GENESIS and SRW codes are given.

Harmonic Generation schemes on Free Electron Laser devices are very promising. The injection of a traditional laser source inside the first undulator leads to an efficient energy modulation of the electron bunch, and therefore, its spatial modulation, resulting in a more coherent light emission along the second undulator. Experiments have been performed on the UVSOR-II Storage Ring at Okazaki (Japan) with electrons stored at an energy of 600 MeV, and using a 2.5 mJ Ti:Sa laser at 800 nm wavelength, 1 kHz repetition rate, and 100 fs up to 2 ps pulse duration. The experimental setup is presented, including the transport alignment and synchronisation between the laser and the electron beam. The third harmonic at 266 nm has been characterised versus various parameters: current, RF cavity voltage, undulator gap, magnetic functions of the storage ring, and laser pulse duration. Those results are compared with theory via analytical models and simulations.

UVSOR electron storage ring, which was a 2nd-generation synchrotron radiation (SR) light source for VUV and soft x-ray region, has been renewed as UVSOR-II at the beginning of 2003. Because of the improvement, the beam emittance has been reduced from 165nm-rad to 27nm-rad, and longer straight sections with smaller vertical betatron functions have been provided. In addition to a helical/linear undulator, two in-vacuum undulators have been installed in the long straight sections at the improvement. New variably polarized undulator will be also installed in summer 2006. Improvement of booster synchrotron will be also performed in summer 2006 with aiming to top-up operation in the future. Now UVSOR-II has been operated in 750MeV with the emittance of 27nm-rad in daily users runs. Not only the development of high quality SR beams but also basic investigations for new light source have been performed; development of storage ring FEL and investigation of intense THz burst SR. Bunch slicing experiment with a Ti:Sa laser (800nm) has also been started since 2005, and experiments for coherent harmonic generation and coherent SR generation with the laser-beam interaction have been performed.

We have performed electron bunch slicing experiments using a femto-second high power pulse laser in the UVSOR-II electron storage ring. As the pulse laser system we have used a Ti:Sa laser whose wavelength is 800 nm, typical pulse duration is 100 fs, pulse repetition is 1 kHz and typical average power is 2W. The laser is operated in mode-locked condition and synchronized with the electron beam revolution. The laser pulse is injected into an undulator section and it goes along with the electron bunch. By adjusting the radiation wavelength of the undulator to the laser wavelength, the electron beam energy can be partially modulated in the electron bunch. We have observed THz synchrotron radiation (SR) light from a bending magnet that is downstream of the interaction region. The SR light contains extremely intense THz pulse radiation that is synchronized with the laser injection. The extremely high intensity strongly suggests that the THz pulses are coherent synchrotron radiation from the electron bunch with a hole because of the laser-beam interaction.
