Özet

Optimization studies for an accelerator based light source, namely self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) free electron laser (FEL), based on new generation in-vacuum hybrid and superconducting undulator configurations, are compared and discussed. It is shown that the FEL wavelength should be down to soft X-rays (similar to 3 nm) part of the spectrum while keeping the same linear accelerator (linac) energy about 1 GeV. On the other hand, numerical calculations and simulation results of the main performance parameters for SASE operation (1D gain length, saturation power and saturation length), are optimized. Finally, technological advantages and challenges for both cases, are briefly mentioned. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
