Identification and Reduction of Wakefield Effects in the Wiggler Region of the Los Alamos Free-Electron Laser.

摘要

Improving the performance of the Los Alamos Free-Electron Laser (FEL) in 1988 involved the identification and reduction of wakefield effects generated in the wiggler region. The wakefield effect was dramatically reduced by inserting a smooth metal tube into the wiggler gap, and the FEL performance was concomitantly improved. 8 refs., 10 figs. (ERA citation 15:011123)
