Various methods have been proposed to condition an electron beam in order to reduce its emittance effect and to improve the short-wavelength free electron laser (FEL) performance. In this paper, we show that beam conditioning does not result in a complete elimination of the emittance effect in an alternating-gradient focusing FEL undulator. Using a one-dimensional model and a three-dimensional simulation code, we derive a criteria for the emittance limitation of a perfectly conditioned beam that depends on the focusing structure.

AbstractA nonlinear simulation of the E × B drifting electron laser (DEL) and the free-electron laser (FEL), in three dimensions, is presented for a prebunched electron beam to study efficiency enhancement. For the planar wiggler with flat pole faces, prebunching considerably shortens the saturation length, which favors the DEL compared to the FEL. Operation of the DEL with the planar wiggler with parabolic pole faces was not found to be possible due to the modulation of the E × B drift by the wiggler. However, simulation results of the FEL with this type of wiggler are reported.

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.
