AbstractThe generation of harmonics in two-frequency undulator in a self-amplified spontaneous emission free electron laser (SASE FEL) is studied in order to produce Roentgen radiation in a relatively compact sized installation. The dynamics of SASE FEL is analyzed with the help of the phenomenological model to obtain the maximum of the X-ray high-harmonic power. The model accounts for the properties of the undulator magnetic field and of the electron beam and includes the major sources of losses, such as the electron energy spread, etc. It is compared and calibrated with the existing data on a FEL experiment. The advantages of the two-frequency undulator for Roentgen SASE FEL are demonstrated and the possibility to generate powerful mild Roentgen radiation at already ~25 m length is shown. The evolution of the bunching coefficients for high harmonics is studied together with the evolution of the FEL-induced energy spread. The linear and non-linear regimes are explored for common and for two-frequency undulators The usage of the two-frequency undulator for cascade SASE FEL with high X-ray harmonic power and high-harmonic bunching coefficients with low-induced energy spread is proposed.

AbstractIncreasing the output power of a long-wavelength free-electron laser (FEL), despite the destroying effects of beam energy spread, is studied using the optimal pre-bunching of the thermal electron beam along with the optimal tapering of the planar wiggler magnetic field. A set of self-consistent coupled nonlinear differential equations in three dimensional that describe the evolution of radiation and electron beam in the interaction zone are solved numerically by the Runge–Kutta method. The axial energy spread is considered and it degrades the FEL performance by reducing the saturation power and increasing the saturation length. To compensate these destroying effects, the optimum function or degree of electron beam pre-bunching and optimum parameters of wiggler tapering are found by the successive runs of the simulation code.
