A cascaded optical klystron on an energy recovery linac - race track microtron

Author

Summary, in English

We are currently investigating a device capable of generating continuous, coherent radiation down in the Angstrom region in sub-ps pulses in a relatively compact set-up. By placing a cascaded optical klystron (OK) in the return path of a 3 GeV Race Track Microtron operating in Energy Recovery mode Harmonic Generation can be performed in several stages in parallel. A four stage OK can generate Angstrom radiation from a 266 nm seed. The demands on the electron optics are severe, but the requirements on the electron beam are not extreme. The layout of a possible facility is presented and the basic concepts are discussed below. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
