  We have developed quantum radiation sources such as a laser Compton scattering (LCS) X-ray and a coherent THz radiation sources on the basis of the S-band compact electron linac at AIST in Japan. The S-band linac consists of the laser-driven photocathode rf gun and two 1.5 m-long acceleration tubes and can accelerate the electron beam up to about 42 MeV. The LCS X-ray source can generate a quasi-monochromatic hard X-ray with variable energy of 12 - 40 keV for medical and biological applications. Now, the multi-collision LCS system has been developed with the regenerative amplifier type laser storage cavity and the multi-bunch electron beam to increase the X-ray yield. On the other hand, the high-power coherent THz radiation source has been also developed and its peak power is estimated to be more than 1 kW in frequency range between 0.1 - 2 THz. The high-power THz radiation was applied to the scanning transmission imaging. Now, the high power THz time domain spectroscopy (TDS) has been developed for the material science. In this conference, we will report the present status of the S-band compact electron linac, our quantum radiation sources and applications.

Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) measurement is a powerful tool for isotope detection for the homeland security such as a nondestructive measurement of containers at airports or harbors and detection or identification of special nuclear materials. In this paper, we will discuss on basic design of a quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray generator based on the backward Compton scattering of laser light on high-energy electrons and an NRF gamma ray detection system using a high-speed scintillation detector.
