TUPSO85 | High Brightness Electron Beams from a Multi-filamentary Niobium-tin Photocathode | 431 |
|
||
High-brightness electron sources are of fundamental interest for modern FELs. Inspired by the micro-structure of field emitter arrays, we propose a new type of metallic photo-cathode consisting of thousands of Nb3Sn micro-columns. With this metallic photo-cathode quantum efficiencies up to 0.5% are achieved under stable operation, and preliminary emittance measurements are presented. | ||
WEPSO70 | Fully Phase Matched High Harmonics Generation in a Hollow Waveguide for Free Electron Laser Seeding | 693 |

Funding: LASERLAB-EUROPE, grant n◦ 228334 PARIS ERC project (Contract No. 226424) Swiss National Science Foundation under grant PP00P2_128493 A bright high harmonic source is presented delivering up to 1011 photons per second around a central photon energy of 120 eV. Fully phase matched harmonics are generated in an elongated capillary reaching a cut-off energy of 160 eV. The high HHG fluence opens new perspectives towards seeding FELs at shorter wavelengths than the state of the art. Characterization of the phase matching conditions in the capillary is presented. |
