X-ray Optics-Free FEL Oscillator

There is a need for an X-ray FEL oscillator to further the quality of X-ray beams. While SASE FELs demonstrated the capability of providing very high gain and short pulses of radiation and scalability to the X-ray range, the spectra of SASE FELs remains rather wide (~0.5%-1%) compared with typical short wavelengths FEL-oscillators (0.01% - 0.0003%). Absence of good optics in VUV and X-ray ranges makes traditional oscillator schemes with very high average and peak spectral brightness either very complex or, strictly speaking, impossible. In this paper, we describe the concept of X-ray optics-free FEL oscillator, discuss its feasibility, and present some initial results and plan for detailed computer simulations.

V.N. Litvinenko, FLS 2010, SLAC, March 4, 2010

Dedication to abused (mechanically, thermally, verbally… and also by radiation) ,

stressed, damages, over-exploited, pushed to the limits, sworn-on

MIRRORS

which we used pushing the FEL oscillator limits to shorter and shorter wavelength and more and more intra-cavity power

V.N. Litvinenko, FLS 2010, SLAC, March 4, 2010

Motivation: why an oscillator   Key words: narrow Fourier-limited linewidth, single transverse mode,

higher spectral brightness, higher stability, full wavelength tunability…

  SASE FELs demonstrated the capability of providing very high gain, short pulses of radiation and scalability to very short wavelength - the FEL conference site is the best proof…

  Meanwhile, the spectra of SASE FELs is rather wide (~0.1) compared with typical short wavelengths FEL-oscillators (0.01% - 0.001%)

  HGHG (or seeded) FELs depend on the availability of appropriate seed and lack the multi-decade tunability typical for SASE and oscillator FELs

Higher (that on SASE FEL) average and peak spectral brightness can be achieved by keeping the FEL power constant while narrowing the linewidth

V.N. Litvinenko, FLS 2010, SLAC, March 4, 2010

Motivation: why optics free   Key words: no power limitation (before vacuum

breaks and generate e-e+ pairs), no wavelength limitations, no degradation of performance, ultimate Freedom

  Absence of good optics in VUV and X-ray ranges makes traditional oscillator schemes prohibitively complex or simply impossible

  Absorption in the mirrors coatings and the mirror substrates limits both average and peak power in FELs (power density, to be exact)

  Finally, optics is the only element in an FEL oscillator, which can not be fully controlled by accelerator physicist. Hence, the frustration!

•  Feedback from the out-put to the input of such FEL amplifier with κfb~10-6 is sufficient to make the oscillator *

Å-scale Feed-back •  Use lower energy e-beam with very low charge (few pC), peak

current (few A) and emittance (εn~10 nm) for the feed-back •  The feed-back-beam is energy-modulated and carries-on the

modulation to the entrance of the FEL

modulation (i.e. use of a typical wiggler) •  Decelerate the feed-back beam to much lower energy (let’s

say ~100 MeV) where synchrotron radiation is mitigated •  Turn the beam around, accelerate it to radiate in the

•  Preserving the phase correlations at the lasing wavelength –  High order achromatic isochronous

lattice and rather low energy spread in the beam

–  Long pulses and low peak current to avoid CSR effects

•  Reasonable e-beam energy for avoiding space charge effect and the de-synchronization by synchrotron radiation –  Low peak current –  Low field in the arcs –  Reasonable β-functions

Feed-back Requirements

V.N. Litvinenko, FLS 2010, SLAC, March 4, 2010

•  Preserving the phase correlations at the lasing wavelength –  Use of sextupoles to compensate for

time delay related to betatron oscllations

–  High stability for arc magnets in the returning pass (potentially permanent magnets with trim coils)

•  Jitter of the system should not exceed the electron bunch duration –  New types of photo cathode driver –  Long bunches for feed-back e-beam –  Reasonably low RF frequency

•  Effective modulation and aperture limitations –  High-K wiggler with large gap for

passing of the laser beam –  Free-space IR Laser-based or mm-

wave pump as the modulator-wiggler

•  Reasonable e-beam for radiating at the designed wavelength (as low as 1Å) –  Micro-wiggler for mid-range energies

–  Free-space IR Laser-based or mm-wave pump as the modulator-wiggler

Preserving the phase correlations - patricle motions is well known

Sextupoles located in dispersion area give a kick ~ x2-y2 which affect the length of trajectory. Two sextupoles placed 90o apart the phase of vertical betatron oscillations are sufficient to compensate for quadratic term with arbitrary phase of the oscillation

V.N. Litvinenko, FLS 2010, SLAC, March 4, 2010

Sextupoles* in the arcs are required to compensate for quadratic effect sextupole kick + symplectic conditions give us right away:

• This scheme is similar to that proposed by Zolotarev and Zholetz. (PRE 71, 1993, p. 4146) for optical cooling beam-line and tested using COSY INFINITY. It is also implemented for the ring FEL: A.N. Matveenko et al. / Proceedings 2004 FEL Conference, 629-632

Four sextupoles located in the arcs where dispersion are sufficient to satisfy the cancellation of the quadratic term in the non-isochronism caused by the emittances. Fortunately, the second order achromat compensates the chromaticity and the quadratic term simultaneously. In short it is the consequence of Hamiltonian term:

Emittance effects 1.  The fact that e-beam passes only once (in contrast with storage

rings) allows to use very strong nonlinear elements in the system

2.  The compensation required only at the exit of the turn, i.e. there is no parasitic density modulation anywhere in the arc, hence no coherent radiation and wake-fields. This is very positive effect of smearing caused by the non-zero emittances

V.N. Litvinenko, FLS 2010, SLAC, March 4, 2010

Single particle effects - conclusion •  OFFELO is feasible •  Higher order terms must be taken into account (using exact

analytical expressions or symplectic high order integrators) to ensure the result

•  Stability of power supplies and the quality of the magnets may require special R&D

Random effects

•  Quantum fluctuations of synchrotron radiation

•  Ripples in the power supplies •  Intra-beam scattering •  Wake-fields •  CSR •  Others

V.N. Litvinenko, FLS 2010, SLAC, March 4, 2010

Synchrotron Radiation •  Energy of the radiated quanta

•  Number of radiated quanta per turn

•  Radiation is random -> the path time will vary •  The lattice should be designed to minimize the random effects

Conclusions •  FEL oscillator without optics seems to be

•  It is at the very edge of current capabilities •  A long few pC bunch with few A peak current with εn ~ 0.01 μm rad is needed. Could it be achieved by?: –  by using slice emittance of a few-psec, a few pC bunch –  by the the collimating the beam in current sources –  using negative electron affinity photo-cathodes

Dedication (Serious)   to the inventor of the phrase MIRRORS DEGRADATION

  to the free electrons - the pure substance which does not care about the wavelength and the intensity of radiation, the heat stress, the absorption, the losses, the reflectivity and do not need “conditioning”…

Feed-Back Arcs- cont. •  Low beam current and small emittance provide for a “toy”-

size of the magnetic system for the arcs

βx ,y ≤100m⇒ε x, y ≤10−10m;⇒σ x, y < 0.1mm⇒ gap ~1 mm

Magnets (dipoles and quadrupoles) can be 2 x 4 cm2 in cross-section

FEL oscillator without optical resonator •  The linewidth of oscillator (~10-100 ppm) •  The pulse length is ~ 1/10 of the e-bunch (i.e.

10 fsec for 100 fsec e-bunch) •  Broad band and fast tunability •  No average and peak power limits imposed by

optics •  Diffraction & Fourier limited X-ray beams

* Determined by the ratio between feed-back and spontaneous radiation
