Abstract
Coherent, wide-tunable frequency and high intensity terahertz (THz) source is under preparation at the Shanghai Soft X-ray free-electron laser facility (SXFEL). The electron bunches modulated by frequency beating light can generate coherent, wide-tunable, high intensity THz radiation from 0.1 to 30 THz through wigglers. The electromagnetic wiggler with peak magnetic field up to 1.75 T is adopted and the parameters of the wiggler are optimized to ensure the generation of strong field THz radiation. Due to the limitation of layout space of the SXFEL, the length of wiggler is limited within 5 meters. By properly increasing the charge of the electron beam, the THz pulse energy can be kept at sub mJ level under the proposed different parameters of the wiggler. In this article, we will present the possible layout of THz source on the SXFEL and the S2E simulation of THz radiation of sub mJ magnitude within the 5-meter wiggler.
