電子蓄積リング“ＮＩＪＩ ＩＶ”による自由電子レーザー発振技術の研究

Abstract

We have constructed a racetrack-type compact electron storage ring “NIJI-IV” for UV FEL. The ring has a hexagonal configuration with two 7.25 m-long straight sections, though its circumference is 29.6 m. A 6.3 m optical klystron (OK) for high FEL gain was installed in one of the long straight sections. The experimental setup for FEL lasing was started at the end of April 1992. The setup on the ring with the OK and the cavity mirror alignment have been completed. The FEL lasings using the NIJI-IV were accomplished at 595589 nm on August 18, 1992 and at 488 nm on September 18, 1992. The final development target is stable FEL lasing in the UV range
