  Pulse radiolysis is one of the absorption measurement methods for investigating the fundamental, ultrafast process of radiation chemical reactions. Analytical light is transmitted simultaneously with the timing of electron beam irradiation, and its absorption by reactive species is detected. Since the target reactions arise in pico second time scale or even shorter, analytical light is required to have such duration. Besides, so as not to be buried in noise of the radiation source, the optical power of the analytical light must be high enough. Furthermore, it is desirable that the analytical light covers visible region because important absorptions caused by irradiation products such as hydrated electron, hydroxyl radical, or so exist in the region. We considered that the supercontinuum light generated from an ultrashort pulse laser is suitable as an analytical light because it has all these characteristics. In this study, we generate the second harmonic (775 nm) of an erbium fiber laser (1550 nm) as a seed laser for supercontinuum generation. In this presentation, we report the current situation of our laser system and prospects.

  We have been studying terahertz (THz) generation via Cherenkov radiation with high-quality electron beams from a photocathode rf (radio frequency) gun. In our early studies, we have succeeded in the generation of coherent Cherenkov radiation by controlling the tilt of the electron beam using an rf-deflector. For further enhancement, we are planning to stack the THz pulses in an optical cavity. Multi-bunch operation of the rf-gun will generate electron beams with a repetition rate of 119 MHz, and THz pulses as well. These pulses will be accumulated in the cavity for up to 150 pulses. In this conference, we report the design study of the enhancement cavity and discuss the performance of the THz source.

  THz waves, located between microwaves and light waves, have transparency, directionality and fingerprint spectrum of specific materials. Therefore, they are expected to be useful for various applications. We have been studying THz waves generation via Cherenkov radiation with electron beams from a photocathode rf-gun. In our early studies, we have succeeded in the generation of coherent Cherenkov radiation by tilted electron beams using an rf-deflector. Furthermore, we have generated quasi-monochromatic THz waves by spatially modulated electron beams and have succeeded in its measurement by bandpass filters. This study aims to obtain the THz wave form in time domain by electro-optic (EO) sampling, which is an useful detection system for obtaining the information of the electric field and the phase simultaneously with high S/N. In this conference, we report about our probe laser system, results of the time-domain spectroscopy measurement of THz waves by EO sampling, and future prospects.

We are developing a C-band linac that produces ultrashort electron bunches as an injector for laser plasma accelerators. A plasma wave excited by a high intense ultrashort laser pulse has a wavelength of the order of 10 to 100 fs and transverse dimensions of the order of 10 to 100 um. To inject the bunch into a proper phase of the plasma wave, a length and transverse sizes of the bunch must be much smaller than the plasma wave structure. A laser triggered photo cathode electron RF-gun and a 2pi/3 mode traveling wave buncher with 24 cells for ultrashort electron bunch production have been developed based on electron beam tracking simulations that show the bunch length is less than 10 fs with a charge of 100 fC at a focus on the plasma wave. The simulations also show that sufficiently small transverse sizes of the bunch at the focus can be obtained by a Q triplet. A highly accurate timing lower than the plasma wavelength (~10fs) is required for the synchronization between the electron bunch injection and the plasma wave excitation. An RF master oscillator with low SSB phase noise (-150dBc/Hz@10MHz) has been developed for the synchronization. We will report present development status.

  We have been conducting basic and applied research for generating high quality electron beams, using 1.6 cell laser photocathode RF-gun. In our laboratory, Cesium Telluride (Cs-Te), one of the semiconductor photocathodes, is used as an electron source for accelerator experiments. This semiconductor photocathode is known for high quantum efficiency (Q.E.) about 5~10% and 3-month 1/e lifetime. High Q.E. photocathodes can reduce the power requirement of the laser system, and long lifetime photocathodes can decrease the maintenance frequency, contributing to an efficient experimental environment. For these reasons, high Q.E. and long lifetime photocathodes are necessary in accelerator experiments. In order to produce robust photocathodes and extend the lifetime, we have conducted covering Cs-Te photocathodes with CsBr and CsI protective films. In this conference, we report the thickness dependency on the lifetime of Cs-Te photocathodes when we intentionally exposed oxygen gas to coated and non-coated Cs-Te photocathodes.
