Abstract

Regarding the chronologic evolution of accelerator-based light sources, optimization and design issues of cutting-edge-technology insertion devices (i.e., undulators, wigglers, etc.) have been a big competitive concern since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Although these sources are strongly restricted by technological limitations in terms of radiation wavelength, leading X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) facilities are spending considerable efforts to survive in this scientific competition by modifying/updating their insertion devices. In other words, even though they all generate almost identical free-electron laser pulses, advertising a “superconducting undulator based light source” in comparison with a “conventional undulator based light source” may sound more attractive for some scientists. However, in contrast to superconducting undulators, conventional undulators do not require cryogenic cooling systems resulting in a cost-effective operation as a matter of course. Under the circumstances, it is shown that generation of hard X-ray FEL pulses is feasible via unique PPM undulators driven by an electron linear accelerator (linac) within the energy range of 5–10 GeV. The results reveal good consistency with the operating X-ray FEL sources worldwide.
