  We are building a Compact Ultrafast TErahertz Free-Electron Laser (CUTE-FEL), designed to lase around 80 microns, driven by a 10 MeV electron beam, and using a 5 cm period, 2.5 m long undulator. We present the latest status of the project, including acceleration and commissioning trials.

  The waveguide to cavity coupling coefficient beta for two types of accelerating structures: a Plane Wave Transformer (PWT) linac and a 1.6 cell photocathode gun has been tuned to obtain critical coupling in both. Analytical calculation of the dimensions of slot required for critical coupling have been done using Gao’s formulation based on Bethe’s theory for hole coupling. While the PWT linac structure, with high inter-cell coupling, shows good agreement between measured and predicted slot dimensions for different values of beta, the agreement is not so good in the photocathode gun on account of poor inter-cell coupling. This paper discusses details of the analytical calculation of slot dimensions for the two structures, their comparison with experimentally measured results, and the procedure adopted for tuning the two structures to critical coupling.
