The infrared free-electron laser (IR FEL) project is established at Chiang Mai University in Thailand with the aim to provide experimental stations for users utilizing accelerator-based terahertz (THz) and mid-infrared (MIR) radiation. Main components of the system include a thermionic RF gun, an alpha magnet as a bunch compressor and energy filter, a standing-wave RF linac, a THz transition radiation (THz-TR) station, two magnetic bunch compressors and beamlines for MIR/THz FEL. The system commissioning is ongoing to produce the beams with proper properties. Simulation results suggest that the oscillator MIR-FEL with wavelengths of 9.5-16.6 um and pulse energies of 0.15-0.4 uJ can be produced from 60-pC electron bunches with energy of 20-25 MeV. The super-radiant THz-FEL with frequencies of 1-3 THz and 700 kW peak power can be produced from 10-16 MeV electron bunches with a charge of 50 pC and a length of 200-300 fs. Furthermore, the THz-TR with a spectral range of 0.3-2.5 THz and a pulse power of up to 1.5 MW can be obtained. The MIR/THz FEL will be used as high-brightness light source for pump-probe experiments, while the coherent THz-TR will be used in time-domain spectroscopy.

Interstellar complex molecules can be found in molecular clouds which are spread throughout our galaxy. Some of these molecules are thought to be the precursors of bio-molecules. Therefore, understanding the formation processes of those interstellar complex molecules is crucial to understanding the origin of the building blocks of life. There are currently more than a hundred known complex molecules discovered in interstellar clouds. However, the formation processes of those molecules are not yet well understood since they occur in very extreme conditions and very short time scale. Ultrafast spectroscopy can be applied to study those processes that occur in the time scale of femtoseconds or picoseconds. In this work, we present an overview of the applications of MIR and THz pump-probe experiments in astrochemistry studies. An experimental setup to simulate space conditions that mimic the environments where the interstellar complex molecules are formed is currently being developed at the PBP-CMU Electron Linac Laboratory. Then, we present our development plan of the experimental station and its current status.
