Abstract
Abstract Since 1979, scientists and engineers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have designed, constructed and operated a radiofrequency (rf) linac free-electron laser (FEL) at wavelengths from 9 to 45 μm. Coupled with the success of other research centers investigating wavelengths from the visible to far-infrared, Los Alamos is now proposing a vacuum-ultraviolet and soft X-ray [referred to henceforth as extreme ultraviolet (XUV)] FEL oscillator/self-amplified spontaneous-emission amplifier with beam energies ranging from 100 MeV to 1 GeV. This paper will focus on the first milestone of the proposed Los Alamos XUV project, i.e., a 250 MeV linac with approximately 50 mA of average current, producing photons with wavelengths below 1000 A.
