The rf modulator design and phase amplitude control for a high-power free-electron-laser linac
Abstract
The building of tunable lasers using an electron accelerator as the source of primary energy which resulted in the design of a new accelerator is discussed. It is demonstrated that this design does work in an amplifier mode. The accelerator is to be upgraded for use in an oscillator experiment and the new RF power amplifier system must meet some of the very stringent demands for power and stability placed on the electron beam for the free-electron laser (FEL) interaction. The electron beam energy ultimately will circulate back through the accelerator so that the electron beam energy not used in the FEL interaction is not wasted. The design of the second FEL system are considered.
