- Received Date: 1993-03-21
Abstract: Beijing FEL facility has been built in IHEP, the saturated oscillation was obtained at a wavelength of 10.68 μm, on 28 Dec. 1993. The average output energy and the pulse width were measured to be 3 mJ, 2 μS, respectively. The corresponding oscillation power is greater than 220 kW, peak power is about 20MW, which is about 108 times higher than that of spontaneous emission. The FWHM of the FEL spectral bandwidth is less than 2%. The small signal gain is 32% per pass. The extraction efficiency is 0.48%. In the present experimental results,BEFL can be saturated by changing electron energy at the wavelength range of 9-11 μm,the maximum average output energy and extraction efficiency are 10 mJ, 0.52% respectively, the minimum spectral bandwidth of 0.5% has been achieved by shortening cavity length.
