A Single-pass Cr:ZnSe Amplifier for Broadband Infared Undulator Radiation
arXiv:2004.13223 · doi:10.1364/OE.396431
Abstract
An amplifier based on a highly-doped Chromium Zinc-Selenide (Cr:ZnSe) crystal is proposed to increase the pulse energy emitted by an electron bunch after it passes through an undulator magnet. The primary motivation is a possible use of the amplified undulator radiation emitted by a beam circulating in a particle accelerator storage ring to increase the particle beam's phase-space density---a technique dubbed Optical Stochastic Cooling (OSC). This paper uses a simple four energy level model to estimate the single-pass gain of Cr:ZnSe and presents numerical calculations combined with wave-optics simulations of undulator radiation to estimate the expected properties of the amplified undulator wave-packet.
