  Electron bunches with ultra-short bunch length and ultra-high timing stability are crucial for various applications. To achieve these desired characteristics, there is a growing interest in employing Terahertz-driven techniques to manipulate and diagnose electron bunches. This paper presents a method capable of compressing and measuring electron bunch lengths. Theoretical and simulation results demonstrate that the bunch length of 54 is reduced to 4 fs by utilizing THz-driven resonant cavity compression, achieving a compression ratio of 13. Furthermore, we also verify the bunch compression using a terahertz-driven streak camera.

  Modern free-electron laser (FEL) facilities are de-signed to simultaneously serve multiple undulator lines to provide x-ray pulses with high peak power and tunable wavelengths. To satisfy different scientific demands, it is preferred to make the separate undulator lines work under different FEL schemes, such as the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) scheme and the echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) scheme. However, different FEL schemes have differ-ent requirements on the beam longitudinal distribu-tion. Here, we propose to use multiple bunches to sim-ultaneously serve the undulator lines and put the bunches at different acceleration phase to change the bunch length with two compressor chicanes. The ac-celeration phase for each bunch is varied by adjusting the time delays of the photocathode drive laser pulses with the accelerator settings unchanged. The start-to-end simulation demonstrates that a fs bunch with high peak current can be produced to serve the SASE line while a bunch with hundred-of-fs length and uniform current distribution can be produced to serve the EEHG line. The FEL performances are simulated and discussed.

  A photo-injector is under development at Wuhan Light Source (WHLS) to provide beams for the 1.5 GeV storage ring proposed as a fourth-generation synchrotron radiation light source and a future free electron laser (FEL) facility. The photo-injector and the following LINAC will be able to produce electron beams with low emittance (<2 mm·mrad), high bunch charge (~1 nC), small energy spread (<0.5%) , and short bunch length, which meet the requirements of the ring injection and the FEL operation simultaneously. The injector boosts the bunch energy to 100 MeV, which is mainly composed of a photocathode RF gun working at 2998 MHz, two solenoid coils for emittance compensation, and two 3-meter-long 2998 MHz traveling-wave (TW) accelerator units. Beam dynamics optimization of the photo-injector is presented in detail, which has been performed with multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) combining theoretical analysis and ASTRA code. After optimization, the 95% projected transverse emittance has reached as low as 0.45 mm·mrad with an RMS bunch length of about 1.0 mm at a bunch charge of 1 nC.

  Generalized longitudinal strong focusing (GLSF), a ring-based beam manipulation technique, has been proposed to generate steady-state, nanometer-long electron bunches in laser-driven storage rings. Coherent EUV radiation can thus be produced with greatly enhanced power and photon flux, benefiting a wide range of scientific and industrial communities. The GLSF mechanism invokes precise transverse-longitudinal coupling dynamics and exploits the ultralow vertical beam emittance. In a GLSF ring, kW-level coherent EUV radiation is attainable.
