Uv Free Electron Lasers for Synchrotron Radiation Sources

摘要

The possibility of operating a free electron laser in an electron storage ring similar to those being designed or built as synchrotron radiation sources is discussed. The laser output power is proportional to the total power radiated as synchrotron radiation in the ring. The electron beam properties make the storage ring particularly suitable for operating a laser in the UV region. Small signal gain per pass larger than one at wavelengths near 600 A can be obtained in a 500 MeV storage ring. (ERA citation 05:016391)
