Using proper beam energy chirp and the undulator detuning effect, we propose a modified optical replica synthesizer scheme to characterize the temporal structure of a relativistic electron bunch, which predicts a 100-fs temporal resolution in numerical simulation. The proof of principle experiment demonstrates a peak current of 9 A and a slice ener...

... at the 2 nd harmonic of the seed wavelength. It is found that, for obtaining a significant coherent radiation in the replica synthesizer radiator, the effective modulator current is from 46 to 48A and from 43 to 54A without and with energy chirp respectively, which is a simple criterion to check the validation of the proposed ORS operation. Fig. 4 presents the measured current profile, where the absolute value of current distribution is normalized from pulse charge of 100pC. Fig. 4 indicates a peak current of 9A and a FWHM bunch length of 12ps. As shown in Fig. 5, we also have measured the slice energy spread and slice energy modulation. The typical slice energy spread of the ...

The typical slice energy spread of the electron bunch is 0.5keV, which agrees well with start-to-end dynamics. The maximum energy modulation induced by 1047nm laser pulse is ...

The spatiotemporal response of crystals in x-ray Bragg diffraction resulting from excitation by an ultra-short, laterally confined x-ray pulse is studied theoretically. The theory presents an extension of the analysis in symmetric reflection geometry [1] to the generic case, which includes Bragg diffraction both in reflection (Bragg) and transmissi...

Polarization switching of light sources is required over a wide spectral range to investigate the symmetry of matter. In this paper,we report the first experimentaldemonstration of the crossed-planar undulators technique at a seeded free-electron laser, which holds great promise for the full control and fast switching of the polarization of short-w...

Exploring the dynamics of matter driven to extreme non-equilibrium states by an intense ultrashort X-ray pulse is becoming reality, thanks to the advent of free-electron laser technology that allows development of different schemes for probing the response at variable time delay with a second pulse. Here we report the generation of two-colour extre...

The successful operation of the hard x-ray self-seeding experiment at the LCLS opens the era of fully coherent hard x-ray free electron lasers (FELs). However, the shot-to-shot radiation fluctuation is still a serious issue. In this paper, high-gain, single-pass x-ray FEL schemes seeded by the narrow bandwidth radiation signal from an x-ray FEL osc...

High-gain Free Electron Laser (FEL) is one of the many electron-beam instabilities that have a number of common features linking the shot noise, the amplification and the saturation. In this paper, we present a new, model-independent description of the interplay between these effects. We derive a simple formula for a maximum attainable gain before...

In this paper,we report the first experimentaldemonstration of the crossed-planar undulators technique at a seeded free-electron laser, which holds great promise for the full control and fast switching of the polarization of short-wavelength radiation. In the experiment, the polarization state of the coherent radiation at the secondharmonic of the seed laser is switched successfully.Theexperimental results confirm the theory and pave the way for applying the crossed-planar undulators technique for seeded x-ray free-electron lasers.

Independently from conventional electron beam based procedures, the photon beam based diagnostic is an alternative way for electron trajectory alignment and commissioning of numerous undulator cells in high-gain short-wavelength free-electron lasers (FELs). In this paper, using the microbunched electron beam and the undulator fine-tuning technique, a novel method based on the spatial profile analysis of coherent harmonic radiation from individual or two consecutive undulator segments, the so-called coherent photon beam based diagnostic, is proposed for undulator alignment and commissioning in seeded FELs. The preliminary experimental results at the Shanghai deep ultraviolet FEL test facility are presented. It shows that the proposed method is effective and convenient in the electron beam trajectory control, the undulator magnetic gap verification, and the phase match between two undulator segments.

In this paper, a fully coherent radiation option with controllable polarization is proposed for Shanghai deep ultraviolet free electron laser (FEL) test facility. Intensive start-to-end simulation suggests that, the two crossed planar undulators which generate the horizontal and vertical linear polarized FEL respectively, should be placed as close as possible for avoiding the polarization performance degradation of the final combined FEL radiation. With the existence of the phase-shifter between the two crossed radiators, Fourier-Transform-Limited output radiation with 100 nJ order pulse energy, 5 ps full pulse length and circular polarization degree above 90% could be achieved.
