Abstract

The optical klystron installed on the Elettra storage-ring is normally used as interaction region for an oscillator free-electron laser, but, removing the optical cavity and using an external seed laser, one obtains an effective scheme for single-pass harmonic generation. In this configuration the high-power external laser is synchronized with the electron beam entering the first undulator of the optical klystron. The laser-electron beam interaction produces a spatial partition of electrons in micro-bunches separated by the seed wavelength. The micro-bunching is then exploited in the second undulator to produce coherent light at the harmonics of the seed wavelength. The Elettra radiator is an APPLE type undulator and this allows to...

The optical klystron installed on the Elettra storage-ring is normally used as interaction region for an oscillator free-electron laser, but, removing the optical cavity and using an external seed laser, one obtains an effective scheme for single-pass harmonic generation. In this configuration the high-power external laser is synchronized with the electron beam entering the first undulator of the optical klystron. The laser-electron beam interaction produces a spatial partition of electrons in micro-bunches separated by the seed wavelength. The micro-bunching is then exploited in the second undulator to produce coherent light at the harmonics of the seed wavelength. The Elettra radiator is an APPLE type undulator and this allows to explore different configurations of polarization. We present here numerical results obtained using the code Medusa for both planar and helical configurations. We also draw a comparison with predictions of the numerical code Genesis.
