The MIT Lincoln Laboratory is investigating the possibility of building a free electron laser (FEL) operating at an average power of about 7 kW at wavelengths of 500--600 nm. Additional specifications for the FEL include a bandwidth of less than 0.1 cm{sup {minus}1} and a micropulse separation of less than 10 ns. The design study has investigated the basic design parameters of the FEL including an analysis of the electron accelerator, beam line, wiggler and optical cavity. A nonlinear model of the FEL has been used to calculate the FEL gain and efficiency. The required output power appears achievable from …

Description
The MIT Lincoln Laboratory is investigating the possibility of building a free electron laser (FEL) operating at an average power of about 7 kW at wavelengths of 500--600 nm. Additional specifications for the FEL include a bandwidth of less than 0.1 cm{sup {minus}1} and a micropulse separation of less than 10 ns. The design study has investigated the basic design parameters of the FEL including an analysis of the electron accelerator, beam line, wiggler and optical cavity. A nonlinear model of the FEL has been used to calculate the FEL gain and efficiency. The required output power appears achievable from an FEL operating at more than 1% efficiency with a conventional RF accelerator. Details of the FEL design are presented in this report which represent the final report for the year from September 1, 1989 to August 31, 1990. 28 refs., 13 figs., 5 tabs.
