Undulator based scanning microscope at the National Synchrotron Light Source

Description: A second generation scanning soft x-ray microscope is under construction, designed to utilize the dramatic increase in source bightness available at the soft x-ray undulator. The new instrument is expected to reduce image acquisition time by a factor of about 100, and to improve resolution, stability, and reproducibility.

Optical characteristics of super-radiant harmonic radiation from a FEL and optical klystron. 3D model

Description: In free-electron sources of coherent light, bunching of the electrons allows the super-radiant production of coherent harmonic radiation, up to substantially high harmonic numbers. This paper presents a fully three dimensional model formulation for evaluating coherent harmonic radiation from a free-electron laser or optical klystron. The radiated electromagnetic field is expanded in terms of a set of orthonogonal free-space modes. Expansion coefficients can be evaluated once a generalized form … more

Coherent backscattering in the soft x-ray region

Description: It is shown that coherent polarized soft x-rays can be produced by a combination of two techniques - stimulated amplification of laser light in a magnetic undulator, and Compton scattering of laser photons on an electron beam. In the combined technique, laser radiation is Compton scattered from a relativistic electron beam, whose current or charge density is periodically modulated. An electron beam and a laser beam propagate through an undulator along the same line. Inside the undulator, the la… more

High-gain free electron lasers as generators of short wavelength coherent radiation

Description: The development of coherent radiation in high-gain free electron lasers, either from initial noise or from low-power input radiation, is analyzed in terms of three-dimensional Maxwell-Klimontovich equations. Exponential growth and saturation, transverse radiation profiles, transverse coherence and spectral features are discussed. Two possible systems of high-gain free electron lasers, one based on a storage ring and by-pass, another based on a linac and damping rings, are considered for the gen… more

Optical systems for synchrotron radiation: lecture 4. Soft x-ray imaging systems

Description: The history and present techniques of soft x-ray imaging are reviewed briefly. The physics of x-ray imaging is described, including the temporal and spatial coherence of x-ray sources. Particular technologies described are: contact x-ray microscopy, zone plate imaging, scanned image zone plate microscopy, scanned image reflection microscopy, and soft x-ray holography and diffraction.

Brightness and coherence of synchrotron radiation and high-gain free electron lasers

Description: The characteristics of synchrotron radiation are reviewed with particular attention to its phase-space properties and coherence. The transition of the simple undulator radiation to more intense, more coherent high-gain free electron lasers, is discussed.
