| A 125 MeV electron linac has been constructed at Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application (LEBRA) in Nihon University for Free Electron Laser (FEL) and Parametric X-ray (PXR) generation. Two klystrons feed rf power of approximately 20 MW peak and 20 μsec pulse duration each to an injector and three 4 m accelerating structures. Phase of the rf fed to each component is controlled independently. Two accelerating structures connected with the second klystron and a ninety degrees bending system as a momentum analyzer constitute a magnetic bunching system. Electron bunches of 3 to 4 psec width formed at the injector are compressed to within 1 psec during passing through the magnetic bunching system. Peak current of the electron beam injected to the FEL system installed downstream of the momentum analyzer is expected to be about 50 A. FEL lasing has been achieved at the wavelength range from 1 to 6 mm. Estimated peak power of the extracted FEL light pulse is about 2 MW. Applied researches using the FEL started last autumn. Preliminary experiment for the PXR generation has been continued. |
