MOZBAB02 Short Wavelength SASE FEL: Experiment vs. Theory 94
 
  • J. Rossbach
 
  Since 2005, the Free-Electron Laser FLASH at DESY delivers radiation pulses with unprecedented parameters to scientific users. Pulses in the 10 femtosecond range are produced at record wavelengths as short as 13 nanometers. Operating in the FEL saturation regime at the Gigawatt level, even higher harmonics are generated that are powerful enough to be attractive for users. Radiation pulses and the properties of electron bunches have been characterized in quite some detail. Based on these results, the state of the art of detailed comparison between the theory and experiment of short wavelength SASE FELs will be presented.

  The idea of using the Smith-Purcell effect to build a compact (table-top) long wavelength (0.1 -1 mm) free-electron laser is quite old. However, it is only recently that a complete theory for the operation of such devices has been proposed. The current state of the theoretical and experimental efforts to understand these devices will be summarized.
