  2. 1. Laser-Driven Plasma Waves for Particle Acceleration and X-ray Production

    Author : Guillaume Genoud; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laser plasma acceleration of electrons and protons; laser-wakefield acceleration; plasma waves; plasma-wiggler radiation; betatron radiation; laser guiding; laser pointing stabilisation;

    Abstract : This thesis presents experimental results related to laser plasma accelerators. These rely on very different principles from conventional particle accelerators. READ MORE

  4. 2. Timing Diagnostics and Coherent Harmonics from a test-FEL

    Author : Nino Cutic; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Free electron laser; undulator radiation; coherent harmonic generation; circular polariyation; vacuum ultra-violet; seed pulse timing; bunch length; electro-optical spectral decoding;

    Abstract : The test free-electron laser (test-FEL) at MAX-lab in Lund demonstrated for the first time circularly polarized coherent femtosecond pulses at 66 nm wavelength. A 375 MeV electron bunch was seeded by a femtosecond laser at 263 nm and coherent harmonics were extracted in an APPLE-II type elliptical undulator. READ MORE

  5. 3. Efficiency Enhancement Techniques for Free-Electron Lasers

    Author : Alan Mak; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free-electron laser; accelerator physics; efficiency enhancement; undulator tapering; phase jump method; synchrotron radiation; Fysicumarkivet:2017:Mak;

    Abstract : The central question addressed in this thesis is how to make the free-electron laser (FEL) more efficient. In recent years, coherent diffraction imaging provides an important motivation for efficiency enhancement. This is because a more efficient FEL process enables converting a larger fraction of the electron beam's power into optical power. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on high brightness electron beams for short pulses and free electron laser

    Author : Sara Thorin; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bunch compression; sub-ps pulses; X-rays; High brightness electron beam; free electron laser; electron accelerator; collective effects.;

    Abstract : Accelerator based lightsources are one of the most powerful tools today for producing high intensity radiation at very short wavelengths. While synchrotron storage rings provide a high average brilliance in a wide wavelength range, the next generation of lightsources aim towards producing ultra-short pulses in the X-ray regime.

  7. 5. Towards ultrafast imaging with extreme ultraviolet light sources

    Author : Jörg Schwenke; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photo emission electron microscopy; Focusing of X-ray radiation; Digital holography; High-order harmonic generation; Free-electron laser seeding; Secondary electron cascades; Fysicumarkivet A:2012:Schwenke;

    Abstract : This thesis reports experimental studies performed with two advanced coherent XUV sources with ultrashort pulse duration, high-order harmonic generation and seeded-free electron laser. High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is the generation of overtones of a fundamental laser pulse in a medium, e.g. noble gases. READ MORE
