  A new THz Coherent Undulator Radiation (THz-CUR) source has been developed to generate intense quasi-monochromatic THz radiation at the Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University. The system consists of a photocathode RF gun, bunch compression chicane, quadrupole magnets, and short planar undulator. The total length of this system is around 5 meters. At present, this compact accelerator has successfully started giving the THz-CUR in the frequency range of 0.16 - 0.65 THz. To investigate the performance of the source, the relationship between the total radiation energy, peak power and power spectrum as a function of bunch charge at the different undulator gaps were measured. The results are reported in the paper.

  A mid-infrared free electron laser (FEL) named KU-FEL has been developed for promoting energy-related research at the Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University.* KU-FEL can cover the wavelength range from 3.6 to 23 micrometers and is routinely operated for internal and external user experiments. Recently a THz Coherent Undulator Radiation (CUR) source using a photocathode RF gun has been developed as an extension of the facility.* As the result of commissioning the experiment, it was confirmed that the CUR source can cover the frequency range from 160 to 550 GHz. Present status of these infrared light sources will be presented.
