Abstract
[[abstract]]A staggered-array wiggler [1] for a far-infrared free-electron laser (FEL) [2] has been built at Stanford, and its magnetic properties have been tested. This type of wiggler has several desirable features: high wiggler field at short wiggler periods, wavelength tuning by a solenoid current, electron beam confinement by a solenoid field, and looser machining tolerances. A 10.8-kilogauss peak wiggler field has been measured at a 7.0-kilogauss solenoid field for a 1.0-cm wiggler period and a 2.0-mm gap. The small-signal gain has been calculated analytically and by computer simulation for a 0.5-m long wiggler. For an 8-A, 9-ps current pulse and a 3.3-MeV electron beam, 5-dB gain is predicted. Twenty- to thirty-percent wavelength tuning can be achieved by adjusting the solenoid field and still maintain reasonable small-signal gain. The pulsed-wire technique [3] was employed to test the field uniformity of this novel wiggler, and the measured field variation was about 1%.[[fileno]]2030114010004[[department]]電機工程學This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
