  The harmonic lasing free-electron laser amplifier, in which two wigglers is employed in order for the fundamental resonance of the second wiggler to coincide with the third harmonic of the first wiggler to generate ultraviolet radiation, is studied. A set of coupled nonlinear first-order differential equations describing the nonlinear evolution of the system, for a long electron bunch, is solved numerically by CYRUS code. Thermal effects in the form of longitudinal velocity spread are also investigated. The second wiggler field decreases linearly and nonlinearly at the point where the radiation of the third harmonic saturates to enhance the efficiency. The optimum starting point and the slope of the tapering of the amplitude of the wiggler are found by a successive run of the code. It is found that tapering can increase the saturated power of the third harmonic considerably.

  Three-dimensional simulation of harmonic lasing Free-electron laser is represented in the steady-state regime. Here, the third harmonic of the first wiggler is adjusted at the fundamental resonance of the second wiggler by reducing the magnetic field strength of the second wiggler. The hyperbolic wave equations can be transformed into parabolic diffusion equations by using the slowly varying envelope approximation. A set of coupled nonlinear first-order differential equations describing the nonlinear evolution of the system is solved numerically by CYRUS3D code. This set of equations describes self-consistently the longitudinal spatial dependence of the radiation waists, curvatures, and amplitudes together with the evaluation of the electron beam. Thermal effects in the form of longitudinal velocity spread are also investigated. In order to reduce the length of the wiggler, the prebunched electron beam is considered.

The radiant intensity of Synchrotron Undulator Radiation (UR) depends on the current noise spectrum of the electron beam injected into the wiggler. The current noise spectrum and intensity can be controlled (suppressed or enhanced relative to the shot-noise level) by the effect of collective longitudinal space charge interaction in a drift and dispersion sections[1]. This new control lever is of significant interest for possible control of SASE in FEL, since UR is the incoherent seed of SASE. Thus, control of spontaneous UR is a way to enhance the coherence of seeded FEL [2], or alternatively, obtain enhanced radiation from a cascade noise-amplified electron beam [3]. The dependence of UR emission on the current noise is primarily a result of the longitudinal correlation of the e-beam distribution due to the longitudinal space charge effect. However, at short wavelengths, 3-D effects of transverse correlation and effects of emittance disrupts the proportionality relation between the UR intensity and e-beam current noise. We present analysis and simulation of UR subradiance/superradiance under various ranges of beam parameters, and compare to recent experimental observations [1].

In the context of radiation emission from an electron beam Dicke's superradiance (SR) is the enhanced radiation emission from a pre-bunched beam. Stimulated Superradiance (ST-SR) is the further enhanced emission of the bunched beam in the presence of a phase-matched radiation wave. These processes were analyzed for Undulator radiation in the framework of radiation field mode-excitation theory[1]. In the nonlinear saturation regime the synchronism of the bunched beam and an injected radiation wave may be sustained by wiggler tapering [2]. Same processes are instrumental also in enhancing the radiative emission in the tapered wiggler section of seeded FEL[3]. In a long tapered wiggler the diffraction of the emitted radiation wave is not negligible even at Angstroms wavelengths (as in LCLS). A Fresnel diffraction model was provided in [4] for the SR process only. Here we outline the fundamental physical concepts of Spontaneous Superradiadce (SR), Stimulated Superradiance (ST-SR), Taper-Enhanced Superradiance (TES) and Taper-Enhanced Stimulated Superradiance Amplification (TESSA), and compare their Fourier and Phasor formulations in the radiation mode expansion and free-diffraction models. Detailed further analysis can provide better design concepts of high power FELs and improved tapering strategy for enhancing the power of seeded short wavelength FELs
