At the synchrotron light source DELTA operated by the TU Dortmund University, the short-pulse source employs the seeding scheme coherent harmonic generation (CHG) and provides ultrashort pulses in the vacuum ultraviolet and terahertz regime. Here, the interaction of laser pulses with the stored electron bunches result in a modulation of the longitudinal electron density which gives rise to coherent emission at harmonics of the laser wavelength. Recently, investigations of the influence of the Gouy phase shift at the focal point of the laser pulses on the laser-electron interaction have been performed. For the planned upgrade towards the more sophisticated seeding scheme echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) featuring a twofold laser-electron interaction, simulations of the ideal parameters of the laser beams have been carried out.

The TU Dortmund University operates the 1.5-GeV electron storage ring DELTA as a synchrotron light source in user operation and for accererator physics research. At a dedicated beamline, experiments with (sub-)THz radiation are carried out. Here, an interaction of short laser pulses with electron bunches is used to modulate the electron energy which causes the formation of a dip in the longitudinal electron density, giving rise to the coherent emission of radiation between 75 GHz and 6 THz. The standard mode of operation is the generation of broadband radiation. However, more sophisticated energy modulation schemes were implemented using a liquid-crystal phase modulator. Here, a modulation of the spectral phase of the laser is used to control the spectral shape of the THz pulses. The resulting THz spectra have a relative bandwidth of about 2 %. Measurement results from the different THz generation schemes are presented.
