Abstract
There is a growing interest in designing and building compact X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FELs) for scientific and industry applications. In this paper, we report an X-ray Regenerative Amplifier FEL (XRAFEL) design based on a proposed Ultra Compact X-ray FEL configuration. Our results show that an XRAFEL can dramatically enhance the temporal coherence and increase the spectral brightness of the radiation in the hard X-ray regime without increasing the footprint of the FEL configuration. The proposed compact, fully coherent, and high-flux hard X-ray source holds promise as a valuable candidate for a wide range of high-impact applications in both academia and industry.
人们对设计和制造用于科学和工业应用的紧凑型 X 射线自由电子激光器(FEL)越来越感兴趣。本文报告了基于超紧凑 X 射线自由电子激光器配置的 X 射线再生放大器自由电子激光器(XRAFEL)设计。我们的研究结果表明,XRAFEL 可以在不增加 FEL 配置占地面积的情况下,显著增强硬 X 射线系统的时间相干性并提高辐射的光谱亮度。所提议的紧凑型、全相干和高通量硬 X 射线源有望成为学术界和工业界广泛的高影响力应用的宝贵候选者。
