Short-wavelength radiation pulses with time-varying orbital angular momentum from tailored relativistic electron beams

Abstract: In this Letter, we propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, technique to generate short-wavelength radiation carrying time-varying orbital angular momentum (OAM) by tailoring relativistic beams in free-electron lasers. To manipulate the temporal properties of OAM beams, two time-delayed seed lasers with different OAM values are used to interact with the electron beam in the undulator. With this method, high-harmonic electron beam microbunching with a time-varying helical distribution can be tailored to m… Show more

“…The generation of electron beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69] refers to the creation of electron beams that possess a well-defined helical phase front, similar to a spiral staircase. This helical structure of the electron beam arises due to the presence of OAM, which is a property of a wave that describes the rotation of the wave's phase around its axis of propagation.…”

“…Some techniques aim to create helical microbunching through laser-assisted manipulation. [3,4,5,6]. Another route is to create helical microbunching based on harmonic energy modulation in a helical undulator, which is also called high-gain high-mode generation (HGHMG) [7].…”
