Improved  FEL performance with novel resonator The miniature free electron laser under development at Dartmouth College is a benchtop device designed to produce coherent, tunable radiation over the entire terahertz spectral range. We will report on a novel resonator design which significantly enhances the output intensity without limiting the tuning range of the device. J.H. Brownell, A. Bakhtyari, H.L. Andrews, I.J.

Smith-Purcell effect “Open” resonator Wide tuning range

Demonstrated tuning Measured vs. Calculated wavelengths Calculated wavelengths (microns) Measured wavelengths (microns)

e-Beam x Grating Coupling constraint Evanescent field profile Must optimize net gain.

Gain “Closed” resonator: Increases gain by constraining Reduces loss BUT limits tuning! Feedback Loss & SP signal Newton’s eq. Maxwell’s eqs. Try partial closure.

Typical power from a planar grating Beam current (mA) Detected power (a.u.) Threshold Beating Beam: 29 kV, 40 micron waist Beam

Planar Horn Electron Beam Opening angle Planar grating base Mirror surfaces

Planar Horn power for 20, 40, 90, 180 degree opening angles Beam current (mA) Detected power (a.u.) Beam: 29 kV, 50 micron waist Opening angle = Conforms to theory.

Grating Horn Ruled surfaces Electron Beam Opening angle

Grating Horn power vs. planar grating Beam current (mA) Detected power (a.u.) Beam: 29 kV, 58 micron waist

Other Grating Horn configurations (Distinct boundary conditions) (a)(b) (c)(d) (e)(f) Electron beam Grating tooth depth

Conclusion Intensity is magnified by Planar Horn, and even more by Grating Horn, Gain is increased by Grating Horn, High spontaneous signal suggests SP-FEL operates in a fundamentally different way with the Grating Horn, Many configurations to test for optimum performance.
