Short-wavelength free-electron laser sources and science: a review

TL;DR: This review is focused on free-electron lasers (FELs) in the hard to soft x-ray regime and provides newcomers to the area with insights into: the basic physics of FELs, the qualities of the radiation they produce, the challenges of transmitting that radiation to end users and the diversity of current scientific applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Few-Cycle Pulse Generation in an X-Ray Free-Electron Laser

TL;DR: A method is proposed to generate trains of few-cycle x-ray pulses from a free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier via a compact "afterburner" extension consisting of several few-period undulator sections separated by electron chicane delays.
Journal ArticleDOI

CLARA conceptual design report

J. A. Clarke, +99 more
- 09 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: The conceptual design of a proposed free electron laser test facility called CLARA that will be a major upgrade to the existing VELA accelerator test facility at Daresbury Laboratory in the UK is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transform-limited x-ray pulse generation from a high-brightness self-amplified spontaneous-emission free-electron laser.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated, using linear theory and numerical simulations, that the radiation coherence length can be increased by approximately 2 orders of magnitude over SASE with a corresponding increase in spectral brightness.
Journal ArticleDOI

A wide bandwidth free-electron laser with mode locking using current modulation

TL;DR: In this article, a new scheme for mode locking a free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier is proposed based on electron beam current modulation, which improves the spectral brightness of the source and the purity of the series of short pulses.
