-
摘要: 本文叙述了1987年10月我们用500keV.1kA环形电子束进行的喇曼型自由电子激光(FEL)实验。空芯石墨阴极发射的环形电子束外径4cm,在轴向磁场引导下通过内径5.2cm的不锈钢漂移管,束厚0.1cm。互作用区由空间周期长度λw=2cm的双螺旋线摇摆器组成,进出端均为绝热过渡。测量到10MW的32GHz微波辐射,效率为1.6%。输出功率与互作用区长度的关系表明辐射增长率为2dB/cm。用波导色散线和带通滤波器测量到辐射频率在27-38GHz间可调。Abstract: A free-electron laser (FEL) superradiant amplifier experiment is described,in which an annular electron beam is generated by the EPA-74 pulse-line accelerator.The voltage of diode ranges between 400kV and 700kV.The graphite annular cathode of a fo-illes diode has a 3cm O D.and 2.8 cm I.D..An annular electron beam of 1 kA is guided into the interaction region by a high axial magnetic field.The cylindrical hollow electron beam has a 4cm diameter and a wall thickness of 1mm,and propagates through a drift tube of 5.2cm 1.D..The electrons have low transverse velocities before injected into the interaction region.The interaction region consists of a 22-period pulsed bifilar helical wiggler (λw=2 cm) with adiabatic entrance and exit.A 10MW radiation has been observed at 32GHz frequency representing a 1.6% efficiency.Measurements of the dependence of radiation output power upon the length of interaction region show a grow in rate of 2dB/cm.Spectral diagnoses are performed with the 8mm waveguidedis-persive line and hand-pass filters.Radiations in the frequency range of 27-38GHz are measured while changing the energy or and the magnetic field amplitude.The results consist with calculations on the basis of the guiding centre approximation methode.
