  6. FEL 1 AND FEL 2 FEL 1 FEL 2 • FEL-1: seeded FEL single stage high gain harmonic generation (HGHG) • UV seed laser: 3° of Ti:Sa or OPA • Energy modulation on the wavelength scale of the seed laser • Output wavelength from 100 nm down to 20nm. • FEL-2: Double stage of HGHG • Fresh bunch technique implemented with a magnetic delay line • UV seed laser: 3° Ti:Sa or OPA • Output wavelength from 20 nm down to 4nm. 6

  7. Design and working point of FERMI@ELETTRA linac (1) • Good region of the electron beam has to be long enough to accommodate seed-electrons time jitter • and slippage. 100 fs jitter and 150 fs seed: 300-400 fs good region of electron beam for FEL1, 500 fs for FEL2 • Peak current I>500 A (800 nominal) to provide good photon flux and contained gain length : • C=I×∆T: C>500 pC (800 pC) • Compression factor CF ~10. Mild compression factor • Higher harmonic reached by HGHG is limited by energy spread • 120-150keV energy spread is required • One compressor scheme and laser heater help to contain microbunching and reduce energy spread • Final energy spread vs starting one Courtesy of M.Venturini Vlasov solver calculations

  8. Design and working point of FERMI@ELETTRA linac (2) • HGHG is sensible to nonlinearity in electron beam phase space • E-beam linear energy Chirp + Dispersive Section produces a shift in FEL output fequency and • then a frequency jitter • E-beam quadratic Chirp + Dispersive Section produces a bandwidth increase dispersive e- e- quadratic Chirp Chirp and modulation Bunching and compression • Residual chirp from compression can be compensated with L4 phase • Strong weak in the old ELETTRA linac structure introduce strong quadratic chirp • X can be optimized to compensate quadratic chirp or to linearize current • Start from a particular electron beam current distribution at photocathode (to do)

  22. FEL2 commisioning • Tested first stage of FEL2 • Used the only diagnostics available • Synchronization between seed laser and electron found by looking on the electron beam dump. • Footprint of laser energy modulation • Emission on first radiator observed • Verified laser transport and initial synchronization • calibration of three undulator (of 10) • At least 1µJ has been obtained from the two • radiator of the first stage (tens of nJ were obtained • from 6 radiators in the first light of FEL1) Space for 2 sections Installed now Observed here Done here

  23. Double cascade test with FEL 1 • We tune the last two radiator undulator on a harmonic of the first four • The bunching is propagated from one stage to the other • In this configuration every stage is resonant on one harmonic of the previous stage • Coherent emission on the fundamental • Coherent emission on the fundamental • Too high energy modulation is requested • to have bunching. • Longer gain length in the second undulator. • only coherent radiation in the radiator • Less energy modulation by seed • Shorter gain length in the second • undulator • Coherent emission on the fundamental • FEL gain and exponential growth • Strong harmonic bunching near sat • Bunching could be enhanced by slippage • Better bunching in the last stage • Configuration with 3/3 and 5/1 worst • Coherent emission on fundamental x7

  24. Double cascade test with FEL 1 • Double stage can go higher in harmonic up conversion • In this case we don’t know the limit: we where limited by undulator calibration available h39

  25. Double stage harmonic cascade test with FEL 1 • Keep going with harmonic up-conversion • We try with an harmonic cascade as second stage • One of the harmonic of the last stage is in resonance with one of the harmonic of beam current • in the previous stage • Coherent emission on the second harmonic • Coherent emission on the • fundamental h1 h2 off axis 4nm h65
