  The Free Electron Laser (FEL) operation, like that of any Free Electron source of coherent radiation, is associated with the onset of an instability. The interplay between the FEL and other instabilities, affecting the beam, is one of the interesting aspects of the associated dynamics. It involves issues of practical interest (Renieri Limit in Storage Ring FELs, suppression of instabilities like saw-tooth and synchrotron…). The paper reviews these problems and offers an overview of the scientific contribution of Alberto Renieri to the FEL from this perspective.

  We investigate the statistical properties of the 6 keV third harmonic XFEL radiation at 2 keV fundamental photon energy at LCLS. We performed third harmonic self-seeding in the hard X-ray self-seeding chicane and characterized the attained non-linear third harmonic spectrum. We compare theoretical predictions with experimental results.

  We explore the feasibility of a compact source of quasi-monochromatic, multi-MeV gamma-rays based on Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) from a high intensity ultra-violet (UV) beam generated in a free-electron laser by the electron beam itself.[1] This scheme introduces a stronger relationship between the energy of the scattered photons and that of the electron beam, resulting in a device much more compact than a classic ICS for a given scattered energy. The same electron beam is used to produce gamma-rays in the 10-20 MeV range and UV radiation in the 10-15 eV range, in a ~4x22 m2 footprint system.

We outline the fundamental processes of coherent radiation emission from a bunched charged particles beam [1]. In contrast to spontaneous emission of radiation from a random electron beam that is proportional to the number of particles N, a pre-bunched electron beam emits spontaneously coherent radiation proportional to N2 through the process of (spontaneous) superradiance (SP-SR) (in the sense of Dicke’s [2]). The SP-SR emission of a bunched electron beam can be even further enhanced by a process of stimulated-superradiance (ST-SR) in the presence of a seed injected radiation field. These coherent radiation emission processes are presented in term of a radiation mode expansion model, applied to general free electron radiation schemes: Optical-Klystron, HGHG, EEHG, and coherent THz sources based on synchrotron radiation, undulator radiation or Smith-Purcell radiation. The general model of coherent spontaneous emission is also extended to the nonlinear regime - Tapering Enhanced Stimulated Superradiance (TESSA) [3], and related to the tapered wiggler section of seed-injected FELs. In X-Ray FELs these processes are convoluted with other effects, but they are guidelines for strategies of wiggler tapering efficiency enhancement.

We have previosuly shown that we can generate near TW, 15 fs duration, near transform limited X-ray pulses in the 4 to 8 keV photon energy range using the LCLS-II copper linac, two electron bunches, a 4-crystal monochromator/delay line and a fast transverse bunch kicker. The first bunch generates a strong seeding X-ray signal, and the second bunch, initially propagating off-axis, interacts with the seed in a tapered amplifier undulator, where it propagates on axis. In this paper, we investigate the design of the 4-crystal monochromator, acting also as an X-ray delay system, and of the fast kicker, in preparation of the implementation of the system in LCLS-II.
