Properties and Planned Use of the Intense THz Radiation from ELBE at Dresden-Rossendorf

摘要

The radiation source ELBE at Dresden-Rossendorf is centered around a superconducting ELectron accelerator of high Brilliance and low Emittance (ELBE) which produces electron beams up to 40 MeV. This new facility delivers secondary radiation of different kinds. Special emphasis will be given to the production of intense THz radiation from its Free-Electron Lasers (FEL). This radiation will be used for various research activities including the life sciences. Two additional femtosecond Ti: sapphire laser systems allow to exploit different methods of THz generation for such investigations.
