The VISA (Visible to Infrared SASE Amplifier) experiment at BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) has previously demonstrated saturation at 840 nm in 2001. Further SASE studies, in 2003, have demonstrated an anomalously large bandwidth spread of the FEL spectrum due to off-angle emissions. This paper disseminates the current and future program of the VISA program at BNL. This includes a study of a seeded FEL, using a 1 micron YAG laser as a seed, and the accompanying diagnostics to characterize the radiation. Diagnostics include the double differential spectrometer, a mode converter to investigate the orbital angular momentum of light in the FEL, and an optical pepper-pot for coherence measurements. As usual, start-to-end simulations are presented.

Coherent edge radiation, emitted from the edges of chicane dipole magnets, has recently been observed at the Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Using the 60 MeV linac, a series of experiments has been performed to characterize the radiation, including measurements of the spectrum, angular distribution, and polarization. Details and results of the experiments and plans for future experiments are presented.

It has recently been shown that by illuminating a photocathode with an ultra-short laser pulse of appropriate transverse profile, a uniform density, ellipsoidally shaped bunch is dynamically formed, which then has linear space-charge fields in all dimensions inside of the bunch. We study here this process, and its marriage to the standard emittance compensation scenario that is implemented in most modern photoinjectors. It is seen that the two processes are compatible, with simulations indicating that a very high brightness beam can be obtained. The scheme has produced stimulus for a series of experiments at the SPARC injector at Frascati in 2006-2007. An initial time-resolved experiment has been performed involving Cerenkov radiation produced at an aerogel. We discuss the results of this preliminary experiment, as well as plans for future experiments to resolve the ellipsoidal bunch shape at low energy. Future measurements at high energy based on fs resolution RF sweepers are discussed, and prospects for using the very low longitudinal emittance beam in a future bunch compressor to produce 10 micron long beams are evaluated.
