Sub-picosecond coherent VUV source on the Elettra storage ring
(2008) In Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment 596(3). p.451-458- Abstract
Taking advantage of the storage ring free electron laser beamline at Elettra, we have implemented an experimental setup for the generation of sub-picosecond (ps) coherent optical pulses in the VUV range. The setup is based on the frequency up-conversion of a high-power external signal (provided by a Ti:Sapphire laser) and makes use of a relativistic electron bunch as resonating medium. The produced VUV pulses have peak power in MW range, variable polarization, high shot to shot stability and control of the timing parameters at the ps level. In this paper, we present the first characterization of the temporal and spectral features of the emitted light. The radiation can be exploited for new experiments in the fields of dynamical...
