Abstract

An installation for testing techniques related to seeding and harmonic generation has been completed at MAXlab. The aim is to study the processes around seeded harmonic generation at 130/88/54 nm, the 2/3/5 harmonic of a Ti: Sapphire laser. During the spring 2008 the commissioning work has begun and this paper will report on the progress. The test FEL is built around the existing linac injector at MAX-lab. This source can provide 4-500 MeV electrons from an RF-gun. A combined laser system both driving the photo cathode in the gun and, synchronised via an optical fibre, the seed laser pulse has been put into operation. An optical klystron, consisting of two 30 period undulators and a 4-magnet chicane, is in operation. Beam loss monitors... (More)

An installation for testing techniques related to seeding and harmonic generation has been completed at MAXlab. The aim is to study the processes around seeded harmonic generation at 130/88/54 nm, the 2/3/5 harmonic of a Ti: Sapphire laser. During the spring 2008 the commissioning work has begun and this paper will report on the progress. The test FEL is built around the existing linac injector at MAX-lab. This source can provide 4-500 MeV electrons from an RF-gun. A combined laser system both driving the photo cathode in the gun and, synchronised via an optical fibre, the seed laser pulse has been put into operation. An optical klystron, consisting of two 30 period undulators and a 4-magnet chicane, is in operation. Beam loss monitors along the optical klystron are in use and a THz system for additional synchronisation studies installed. Results from electron beam optics and operation generating spontaneous radiation is already available and synchronisation results immediate. The work is in progress and new results are added continuously to the portfolio.
