  Uncooled micromolometer camera for IR and THz high-speed imaging has been developed. The 160x120 focal plane array consists of resistive vanadium oxide elements on a silicon nitride bridge. The element size is 48x48 micron at 51 micron array period. We describe device fabrication process and focal plane array operational characteristics. The camera was used as a recorder in quasi-optical systems with Novosibirsk terahertz free electron laser as a radiation source. Radioscopy of the objects, which are of interest for biology and security applications, has been demonstrated. The recording rate up to 90 frames per second has been obtained.

  Successful realization of terahertz research programs at the Novosibirsk FEL-facility requires detailed development, designing and optimization of passive quasi-optical selective components, intended for polarization and frequency gating of powerful THz-beams of NovoFEL radiation. Along with desired selective characteristics such components should be capable of operating over a long period of time under high-power load conditions (a few hundred Watts of average incident radiation power) without noticeable degradation of their properties. It admits to employ in selective components only low absorbing and thermostable materials, such as high conductivity metals and special types of polymers. This report is devoted to development of metal mesh based selective structures, such as polarizing beamsplitters (attenuators) and different frequency filters, and their application in high-power THz-experiments. Possibilities and prospects of two main production technologies are discussed: 1) conventional photolithography destined for manufacturing thin metal structures deposited on low-absorbing thermostable polymer films; 2) LIGA-technique intended for producing thick substrate-free metal structures.

  We have developed reflective diffraction optical elements (DOE) for focusing radiation of terahertz free electron lasers (FEL). Metal-dielectric Fresnel zone plates and metallic kinoform "lenses" were fabricated and tested using FEL radiation. A microbolometer camera (see the paper by Esaev et al. at this conference) sensitive to THz radiation had been applied for recording both terahertz beam caustic and terahertz images. Diffraction efficiency of a kinoform lens appears to be about unity. Quality of images obtained with the kinoform lens was studied. The lens was used as a key element for a Toepler optical system, which were used for studying condense matter non-uniformities and deformations. The experiments were performed at Novosibirsk and KAERI FELs.

  The equation for two-particle correlation function in FEL was derived recently to provide a new way of noise calculations in FELs*. In this paper this equation is solved numerically for the simplest case of narrow electron beam. Time independent solution with saturation is obtained. It is compared with the results of quasilinear theory and results of previous SASE linewidth estimates.

TUAAU02 Electron Outcoupling Scheme for the Novosibirsk FEL 204

  One of the main problems of contemporary high power FELs is the mirror heating. One of the possible solutions of this problem is the use of electron outcoupling*. In this case the mirrors of optical resonator are not transparent and the coherent radiation from an additional undulator in the FEL magnetic system is used. To provide the output of this radiation the electron beam in the auxiliary undulator is deflected from the optical resonator axis. To save bunching it is preferable to use the achromatic deflecting bend. The project of electron outcoupling for the Novosibirsk FEL is described. Simulation results are presented.

  We consider a new class of high gain FELs based on femtosecond electron bunches with extra high current density produced by Laser Wake Field Acceleration (LWFA). The FELs of this kind can be used for generation of high power femtosecond x-ray pulses. We present the results of simulations of FEL operation with some reasonable beam parameters which will be obtained in future. We focus our attention on the advantages which can be gained from the unique possibility of the use of femtosecond hundred-kiloamperes bunches, generated by LWFA. We also consider the impact of the relatively poor electron beam properties on FEL characteristics.

  The Novosibirsk terahertz free electron laser is based on the energy recovery linac (ERL) with room-temperature radiofrequency system. Some features of the ERL are discussed. The results of emittance measurements and electron optics tests are presented. The first stage of Novosibirsk high power free electron laser (FEL) was commissioned in 2003. Now the FEL provides electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range 110 - 230 micron. The average power is 400 W. The minimum measured linewidth is 0.3%, which is close to the Fourier-transform limit. Four user stations are in operation. The second stage of the ERL, which has four orbits, is under construction.

  In this work, we report the recent research results of a distributed optical klystron based storage ring FEL at Duke University, the DOK-1 FEL. The DOK-1 FEL is a hybrid system, comprised of four wigglers: two horizontal and two helical. This new FEL has demonstrated the highest FEL gain among storage ring based FEL oscillators using the distributed optical klystron configuration. The enhanced FEL gain of the DOK-1 FEL opens the door for storage ring based FELs to operate in the VUV region toward 150 nm. We have also realized controlled polarization switches of the FEL beam by a non-optical means through the manipulation of a buncher magnet. The DOK-1 FEL is a promising light source capable of rapid polarization switch in UV and VUV. The versatility of the DOK-1 FEL extends to many areas, including the ability of being operated as a multi-color light source for generation of coherent harmonic radiation.

FRAAU03 Compact Ring FEL as a Source of High Power Infrared Radiation 517

  Ring FELs* were proposed mainly to improve the quality of radiation of x-ray FELs. Their main advantage is the absence of mirrors. It appears that this advantage is also useful for high power FELs. Another reason to build infrared ring FEL is the proof-of-principle for shorter wavelength FELs. Therefore we considered the scheme of infrared ring FEL which requires ERL with beam energy 50 MeV. Using extensive simulations we developed requirements for electron beam parameters and magnetic system of ring FEL. In spite of rather compact design such FEL may provide more than 10 kW average power.

  Light pulse structure and spectrum of Novosibirsk free electron laser were studied by direct independent methods. Super fast Schottky diode was used in time domain experiments. Method of vacuum Fourier spectroscopy was applied for spectral investigations. Observation of spectral stability of each light pulse was made by grating monochromator with Schottky diode. Influence of cogerency on harmonic powers is also shown.
