Abstract

Abstract

External seeded free electron lasers (FELs) hold great advantage of emitting extremely high intensity, fully coherent, specially stable light, allowing researchers to study the structure of matter in ultra-small space and ultra-fast time scales. The light with a special transverse phase mode, especially vortex light with orbital angular momentum has been used in many scientific fields. However, the transverse mode of the FELs radiation is basically a simple gaussian mode. In this paper, the generation of the vortex light based on echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) free electron laser is theoretically studied and the simulation studies are carried out according to the parameters of Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser Facility (SXFEL). The results of three- dimensional simulation show that the EEHG type free electron laser can produce coherent vortex soft X rays with peak power up to GW magnitude.
