Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of the book is to provide a systematic and didactic approach to the physics and technology of free-electron lasers. Numerous figures are used for illustrating the underlying ideas and concepts and links to other fields of physics are provided. After an introduction to undulator radiation and the low-gain FEL, the one-dimensional theory of the high-gain FEL is developed in a systematic way. Particular emphasis is put on explaining and justifying the various assumptions and approximations that are needed to obtain the differential and integral equations governing the FEL dynamics. Analytical and numerical solutions are presented and important FEL parameters are defined, such as gain length, FEL bandwidth and saturation power. One of the most important features of a high-gain FEL, the formation of microbunches, is studied at length. The increase of gain length due to beam energy spread, space charge forces, and three-dimensional effects such as betatron oscillations and optical diffraction is analyzed. The mechanism of Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission is described theoretically and illustrated with numerous experimental results. Various methods of FEL seeding by coherent external radiation are introduced, together with experimental results. The world’s first soft X-ray FEL, the user facility FLASH at DESY, is described in some detail to give an impression of the complexity of such an accelerator-based light source. The last chapter is devoted to the new hard X-ray FELs which generate extremely intense radiation in the Angstrøm regime. The appendices contain supplementary material and more involved calculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposal for a Ultraviolet Free-Electron Laser Facility UV-FEL grew from the realization that neither existing lasers or synchrotrons, nor the third generation synchrotron radiation sources now under construction address all of the needs of scientists interested in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, particularly with respect to the combination of continuous wavelength selection, high peak power and short pulse duration. Several workshops have been held at BNL and elsewhere which explored applications and source requirements in the 5 to 30 eV range. A critical requirement determined was is for very high peak power and short wavelength, especially for applications in chemical physics and non-linear optics. The need for wavelength tuning with the ease and agility to which synchrotron radiation users have become accustomed has also been strongly emphasized. With these initial parameters in mind, the accelerator physics staff set about devising ways to produce this radiation. Their design is for an FEL that has unique characteristics both in terms of possible applications, and in the range of radiation it could produce. In addition, the proposed location of the UV-FEL adjacent to the NSLS means that pump-probe experiments involving radiation from both sources will be possible. Each successive design has been reviewed in consultation with potential users in an iterative process to arrive at the present proposal design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book, edited and authored by a team of world-leading researchers, provides a broad overview of advanced photonic methods for nanoscale visualization, as well as describing a range of fascinating in-depth studies. Introductory chapters cover the most relevant physics and basic methods that young researchers need to master in order to work effectively in the field of nanoscale photonic imaging, from physical first principles, to instrumentation, to mathematical foundations of imaging and data analysis. Subsequent chapters demonstrate how these cutting edge methods are applied to a variety of systems, including complex fluids and biomolecular systems, for visualizing their structure and dynamics, in space and on timescales extending over many orders of magnitude down to the femtosecond range. Progress in nanoscale photonic imaging in Göttingen has been the sum total of more than a decade of work by a wide range of scientists and mathematicians across disciplines, working together in a vibrant collaboration of a kind rarely matched. This volume presents the highlights of their research achievements and serves as a record of the unique and remarkable constellation of contributors, as well as looking ahead at the future prospects in this field. It will serve not only as a useful reference for experienced researchers but also as a valuable point of entry for newcomers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now eighteen years since John Madey published a paper pointing out that a high-brightness relativistic electron beam traversing a spatially periodic magnetic field could stimulate the emission of photons over a broad range of wavelengths, indeed, from the far infrared to the ultraviolet. In a way, the free-electron laser was the ultimate homage paid by the laser, viewed as an optical device, to its antecedents in radar and electron-beam science and technology dating back into the 1940's. In the intervening years, successful infrared and visible free-electron-laser (FEL) experiments, for example, at Stanford, Orsay, Santa Barbara, and Los Alamos, have shown significant promise for applications based on the unique optical characteristics of the FEL. A variety of accelerators can provide the high-brightness electron beams necessary for the FEL: room-temperature pulsed linear accelerators, superconducting accelerators, storage rings, and Van de Graaff generators have all been successfully used so far for this purpose. The existence of this variegated collection of pumps for the stimulated emission generated in the FEL implies a correspondingly broad range of temporal pulse shapes, interpulse spacings, pulse-repetition frequencies, output powers, and spectral ranges for users. With the increasing maturity of the free-electron laser comes a new phase of scientific opportunity for those who are primarily laser users rather than laser physicists. During the past two years, FEL users' facilities at Stanford University and the University of California at Santa Barbara began to provide significant quantities of time to photon users, particularly in surface and materials science and bio-medical studies.
