  Development of free electron lasers (FELs) with a compact storage ring NIJI-IV in the near and middle infrared regions is planned in National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). Infrared FELs with a linear accelerator have already been developed and used for various applications in many FEL facilities. However, there is no storage ring FEL (SRFEL) which can oscillate in those regions widely. Although an SRFEL is inferior to a linear accelerator FEL in the average power, it has an extremely stable wavelength and its line width is as narrow as that of a monochromatic light in a synchrotron radiation facility. The average power of the synchrotron radiation in an infrared beam line is about 10 micro-watt at most. Then the SRFEL can be expected as a light source which is more intense than the synchrotron radiation. The output power which is our target is 1 mill-watt. We are aiming at SRFEL oscillations in a wavelength region from 1 to 10 micron which include the fingerprint region partly.

  In free-electron laser (FEL) oscillators, as in self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) FELs, the build-up of intra-cavity power starts from shot noise resulting from the discreteness of charge in the electron bunch. It is important to do the start-up analysis for the build-up of intracavity power in order to fix the macropulse width from the electron accelerator such that the system reaches saturation. In this paper, we show that one can use the time-dependent oscillator code GINGER [1] to perform this anlysis. we present results of this analysis for the parameters of the Compact Ultrafast TErahertz FEL (CUTE-FEL) [2] being built at RRCAT.

  Smith-Purcell FELs using low energy electron beam are being seen as attractive option for a compact source of coherent Terahertz ratiation. Recently, Kumar and Kim [1] have performed numerical simulation of Smith-Purcell free-electron lasers (SP-FELs) based on a computer code using Maxwell-Lorent equations. Li et al. [2], and Dounhue et al. [3] have performed calculations using PIC codes. In this paper, we present a comparision of these methods and compare results obtained using different codes.

  The PAL (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory) is persuading to construct a SASE-XFEL facility (PAL XFEL). The stable electron beam is essential for the single-pass free electron laser facility. The beam stability is governed by an accelerating RF field, of which fluctuation is mainly caused by the modulation of klystron voltage pulses. Therefore, it is directly determined by the charging stability of a modulator that uses an inverter charging system. The stable charging power supply can be realized by a stable probing and correct manipulating of a charging signal, a fine control of charging current, low noise environment, etc. This paper shows the detail analysis of the stability dependency of a klystron-modulator on the related parameters.
