In XFEL/SPring-8, it requires ultra high-brightness electron bunches with ultralow slice emittance and bunch duration of 30 fs (FWHM) in a lasing part. In order to measure such bunches, we are developing a single-shot, non-destructive, real-time 3-D bunch shape monitor based on EO sampling with a manner of spectral decoding. It consists of a radially polarized probe laser and 8 EO-crystals, which surround a beam axis azimuthally and their crystal-axes are radially distributed as well as Coulomb fields of electron bunches. The probe laser has a linear-chirped broad bandwidth (> 400 nm at 800 nm of a central wavelength) for higher temporal resolution, and a hollow shape to avoid interacting with electron bunches. As an EO crystal, we investigate the feasibility of an organic crystal such as a DAST for 20-fs temporal response. This monitor can measure not only longitudinal but also transverse charge distribution at the same time. These real-time 3-D bunch shape measurements are very important to optimize electron bunches for XFEL operation. We present the scheme of this monitor with its estimation in detail and report the developing status for probe laser and organic-EO-crystals. |

An all-optical inverse Compton gamma-ray source is enable us to make a tabletop monochromatic gamma-ray source that might be applied to measure an amount of nuclear material, etc. An intense laser pulse excites a very nonlinear plasma wave and accelerate electron bunch up to several-hundreds MeV within a length of a few millimeters. The key to success is stabilization of the laser-plasma accelerators. We are developing the artificial injection technique of initial electrons in to the plasma wave and guiding of the intense laser pulse by the preformed plasma channel. |
