  2. 1. 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

  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. 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

  6. 4. Electron beam profile measurements and emittance manipulation at the MAX-laboratory

    Author : Åke Andersson; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optics; quantum excitation; emittance; synchrotron radiation; electron beam; lattice; Accelerator; storage ring; diffraction; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The emittances of the electron beams at the MAX-laboratory accelerator system have been studied. Apart from the build-up of the diagnostic tools for precise determination of the beam spatial profiles, the objectives have been: a) to verify the accelerator design emittances at low currents and to try to determine the emittances also at high currents; b) to investigate possibilities to manipulate the emittances.

  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
