<title>FEL development at the Advanced Photon Source</title>

Abstract: Construction of a single-pass free-electron laser (EEL) based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) mode of operation is nearing completion at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) with initial experiments imminent. The Al% SASE FEL is a proof-of-principle fourth-generation light source. As of January 1999 the undulator hall, end-station building, necessary transfer lines, electron and optical diagnostics, injectors, and initial undulatory have been constructed and, with the exception of the undulatory,… Show more

“…The APS has an FEL project known as the Low Energy Undulator Test Line (LEUTL) [17,18]. In order to push this FEL to saturation with fewer undulators and at shorter wavelengths, we embarked on a rapid program to build a bunch compressor for the APS linac [19].…”

“…The first LEUTL experiment examines SASE gain and saturation in three wavelength regions: the visible, ultraviolet, and vacuum ultraviolet [15][16][17]. This first LEUTL experiment is often referred to as the APS SASE FEL and utilizes a string of undulators that are similar to those found in the APS storage ring, each having an undulator parameter K of 3.1, a period of 3.3 cm, and a length of 2.4 m. LEUTL presently (Fall 2000) employs nine identical undulators spaced by ≅ 0.38 m. This space contains a combined function dipole-corrector and quadrupole magnet, electron beam diagnostics, and optical beam diagnostics [18].…”

“…The Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is currently commissioning a free-electron laser (FEL) based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) process [1]. This project, referred to as the APS SASE FEL, is designed to achieve saturation in the visible, UV, and ultimately VUV wavelengths.…”
