THP073 | Status Update for the High Gain High Efficiency TESSA-266 Experiment | 730 |
|
||
Funding: DOE grant No. DE-SC0009914 and DE-SC0018559 Tapering Enhanced Stimulated Superradiant Amplification (TESSA) allows to increase the efficiency of Free Electron Laser (FEL) based radiation generation from ~0.1% to 10% by using intense seed laser pulses, strongly tapered undulators and prebunched electron beams [1]. Initial results validating this method have already been obtained at 10 µm wavelength at Brookhaven National Laboratory [2]. We will present the design of an experiment to demonstrate the TESSA scheme at high gain and shorter wavelength (266 nm) using the APS injector linac at Argonne National Labor-atory (ANL) to obtain conversion efficiency of up to 10%. Undulator and focusing lattice design, as well as beam dynamics and diagnostics for this experiment will be discussed. An extension of the experiment to include the possibility of multi-bunch linac operation and an optical cavity around the undulator to operate in the TESSO regime will also be presented [3]. [1] J.

Attosecond Pulses from Enhanced SASE at LCLS | |
|
||
In my talk I will report the generation and diagnostic of GW-scale soft X-ray attosecond pulses with a current-enhanced X-ray free-electron laser. Our method is based on the enhaced SASE scheme, where an electron bunch with high-current spike is generated by the interaction of the relativistic electrons with a high-power infrared pulse. The X-ray pulses generated by the compressed electron beam are diagnosed with angular photoelectron streaking, and have a mean pulse duration of 350 attoseconds. Our source has a peak brightness that is 6 orders of magnitude larger than any other source of isolated attosecond pulses in the soft X-ray spectral region. This unique combination of high intensity, high photon energy and pulse duration enables the investigation of valence electron dynamics with non-linear spectroscopy and single-shot imaging. I will also discuss the generation of two-color attosecond pulses and our future plans for attosecond science at LCLS-II. | ||
