We developed an adaptive 3-D shaping (both temporal (1D) and spatial (2D)) short pulse (80 fs~40 ps) UV-laser system as an ideal light source for yearlong stable generation of a low emittance electron beam with a high charge (1~2 nC/pulse). In its current form, the lasers pulse-energy stability has been improved to 0.2~0.3% (rms; 10 pps, 0.4 TW in femtosecond operation) at the fundamental wavelength and 0.7~1.4% at the third-harmonic generation. Such improvement reflects an ability to stabilize the laser system in a humidity-controlled clean room. The pulse-energy stability of a mode-locked femtosecond oscillator has been continuously held to 0.3% (p-p) for 10 months, 24 hours a day. In addition, the ideal spatial and temporal profiles of a shot-by-shot single UV-laser pulse are essential to suppress emittance growth in an RF gun. We apply a deformable mirror that automatically shapes the spatial UV-laser profile with a feedback routine, based on a genetic algorithm, and a pulse stacker for temporal shaping at the same time. The 3D shape of the laser pulse is spatially top-hat (flattop) and temporally a square stacked pulse. Using a 3D-shaped laser pulse with a diameter of 0.8 mm on the cathode and pulse duration of 10 ps (FWHM), we obtain a minimum normalized emittance of 1.4 π mm mrad with beam energy of 26 MeV.

We are developing a 3-D electron bunch monitor based on EO sampling, using yearlong stable femtosecond laser source of SPring-8 RF gun. Our developing single-shot bunch monitor can characterize the 3-D (both longitudinal (1D) and transverse (2D)) distribution and position of an electron bunch with femtosecond resolution. This non-destructive monitor can be used as an electron energy chirping monitor in a dispersive region for X-FEL commissioning. The probe laser for spectral decoding EO sampling is prepared as radically polarized and completely linearly chirped broad-bandwidth (~500nm) supercontinuum. EO-probe is made of 8 EO-crystals with assembling each EO-optical axes along radial beam axes. The probe lineally chirped laser is longitudinally sifted in 8 transverse sectors for spectral decoding. We are planning to use organic polymer film as a femtosecond resolution EO-probe instead of crystals. This 3-D bunch monitor with spectrograph detects and analyzes the wake filed of electron bunches as longitudinally spectral decoding and transversely multi-pole expansion. In addition, we are developing all-optical system for femtosecond-timing pump & probe experiments. The EO-sampled probe laser pulse will use as a femtosecond-timing signal pulse. This signal pulse is amplified with a NOPA (noncollinear optical parametric amplifier), using an SHG of Yb fiber laser as a pump laser.
