  We propose a compact scheme of THz free electron laser (FEL) amplifier within a 3.5 m long beam line. The amplification of a tunable THz seed laser in an FEL amplifier is driven by an rf photoinjector*. The THz seed laser is an optical parametric amplifier** pumped by a 1064-nm microchip laser and an external-cavity tunable diode laser. By varying the beam energy and undulator parameter, the radiation frequency of the THz FEL amplifier can be tunable in a broad spectral range between 1.5 and 3.0 THz. Moreover, to extract more radiation power from the electron beam within a short undulator, we employ a linearly tapered undulator in our design. The influence of the seed power on the electron-laser interaction in the undulator is studied in some detail for the FEL amplification. Our simulation results show that the radiation power of the THz FEL amplifier can achieve few MW with a 10-W seed power.

  The DC-SRF photoinjector, developed at Peking University, uses Cs2Te as the photocathode and accordingly 266 nm laser is used as the drive laser. A drive laser sys-tem,which includes a 1064 nm laser oscillator, a four-stage amplifier, and second and fourth harmonic genera-tors, has been designed and applied successfully. To avoid the high average current electron beam from hitting the vacuum tube and causing safety problems, a laser pulse selector with an EO modulator has been designed and included into the laser drive system to reduce the repetition rate of electron pulses during the DC-SRF photoinjector commissioning. It can adjust the repetition rate of laser pulses from 81.25 kHz to 81.25 MHz. In this paper, we introduce the drive laser system and describe the laser pulse selector in detail.
