Abstract

Abstract The average power laser experiment (APLE) program is a collaboration between Boeing Aerospace and Electronics Company and Los Alamos National Laboratory to build a free-electron laser (FEL) operating at a wavelength of 10 μm and an average power of 100 kW. This program includes demonstration experiments at Boeing on the injector and at Los Alamos on a single accelerator master oscillator power amplifier (SAMOPA). In response to simulations of the expected electron beam properties, diagnostic plans have been developed for the low duty factor and the 25% duty factor operations of APLE. Preliminary evaluations of diagnostics based on information conversion to visible or near-infrared light (optical-transition radiation, Cherenkov radiation, synchrotron radiation, and spontaneous-emission radiation) or electrical signals (striplines, toroids, flying wires, etc.) are addressed.
