TUXMH02 | Novosibirsk Free Electron Laser: Terahertz and Infrared Coherent Radiation Source | 16 |
|

Funding: This work was supported by Russian Science Foundation (project N 14-50-00080). High-power free electron laser (FEL) facility NovoFEL has been created at Budker INP. Its wavelength can be tuned over a wide range in terahertz and infrared spectrum regions. As a source of electron bunches this FEL uses multi-turn energy recovery linac which has five straight sections. Three sections are used for three FELs which operate in different wavelength ranges (the first one - 90-240 microns, the second - 37-80 microns and the third - 5-20 microns). The first and the second FELs were commissioned in 2003 and 2009 respectively. They operate for users now. The third FEL is installed on forth accelerator track which is the last one and electron energy is maximal here. It comprises three undulator sections and 40 m optical cavity. The first lasing of this FEL was obtained in summer, 2015. The radiation wavelength was 9 microns and average power was about 100 watts. The designed power is 1 kilowatt at repetition rate 3.75 MHz. Radiation of third FEL has been delivered to user stations recently. The third FEL commissioning results as well as current status of the first and second FELs and future development prospects are presented. |

The Test Results for the Prototype of Variable Period Undulator | |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by grant 14-12-00480 of the Russian Science Foundation. The development of the permanent-magnet variable-period undulator (VPU) is aimed at improving the parameters of the Novosibirsk free electron laser (FEL). The key features of this design are the possibility of increasing the number of poles for shorter periods with constant undulator length and wider radiation wavelength tuning range as compared with conventional undulators. As the idea of the permanent-magnet VPU has not been properly tested yet, there are several issues to be solved before THE manufacture of the device. Two short prototypes of the VPU were made for the purpose of testing solutions to existing problems. We present here the results of mechanical and magnetic measurements of the undulator prototypes and compare the characteristics of the prototypes with those predicted by simulations. |
