Two-Frequency Undulators for Generation of X-Ray Radiation in Free-Electron Lasers

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We present a theoretical study and a computer simulation of characteristics of the undulator radiation in single-pass free-electron lasers (FELs). Using a phenomenological model describing the dynamics of the radiated power in FELs with allowance for the basic loss, we study generation of harmonics in the X-ray range in a FEL with a two-frequency undulator. We study the possibility to achieve a hundredfold increase in the radiation intensity of the nth harmonic in a FEL, in which the electron-phase shift by kπ/n with respect to photons occurs between undulator sections, where k = 2, 4, . . . . The advantages of using a two-frequency undulator in a single-pass FEL and the possibility of generating the high-power X-ray radiation by the FEL at the harmonic wavelengths 2.3–3.3 nm in the linear regime are demonstrated. The FEL is compared with the two-frequency undulator and the conventional plane undulator. Additionally, generation of radiation having a power of tens of megawatts is studied at the wavelength λ ≈ 3.27 nm in a multistage FEL with a length of 40 m, an off-the-shelf excimer ultraviolet seed laser, which operates at a wavelength of 157 nm, and an electron beam having an energy of about 0.6 GeV.
