A novel small-period wiggler and simulations of its free-electron laser
1993
A small-period wiggler constructed of edgy-wound bifilar-helical conducting sheets with ferromagnetic cores, which is intended for free-electron lasers, is presented. The performance characteristics of the wiggler fields with a 100 mm period are measured. A field as high as 1500 G has been obtained. Free-electron lasers with this small-period wiggler have been investigated numerically with a three-dimensional nonlinear theory. Simulation results estimated that a radiation power of 20.2 MW and a frequency of 170 GHz with an efficiency of 5.1% can be obtained. It is feasible to make Raman free-electron lasers with this type of wiggler operating in the millimeter and submillimeter wavelength range with a relatively low electron energy ( >
