Table 3.1.<br />

Because the experimental measurements described in Chapters 5, 6 and 7 were<br />

performed with the Driver, this chapter presents the required conditions for lasing,<br />

from the standpoint of the electron beam, and how these conditions are satisfied in<br />

the FEL Driver.<br />

Reduced to its primary objective, the Driver must generate a short bunch (high<br />

peak current) at the undulator and energy compress and energy recover the large<br />

longitudinal phase space of the spent electron beam following the undulator [49].<br />

The injector is designed to generate a long bunch with low momentum spread.<br />

The objective of the Driver is to rotate the longitudinal phase space 90 ◦ to create<br />

a short bunch at the undulator. Following the undulator, the longitudinal phase<br />

space must be rotated back by 90 ◦ to energy compress the beam which has ac-<br />

quired a large momentum spread. These longitudinal phase space manipulations<br />

are achieved by accelerating the bunches off-crest through the linac to impart a<br />

phase-energy correlation. Rotation of the phase space to an upright ellipse at the<br />

undulator is accomplished with a proper choice of the momentum compaction (the<br />
