A superconducting short period undulator for a harmonic generation FEL experiment

A three stage superconducting (SC) undulator for a high gain harmonic generation (HGE) FEL experiment in the infrared is under construction at the NSLS in collaboration with Grumman Corporation. A novel undulator technology suitable for short period (6-40 mm) undulators will be employed for all three stages, the modulator, the dispersive section and the radiator. The undulator triples the frequency of a 10.4 /spl mu/m CO/sub 2/ seed laser. So far a 27 period (one third of the final radiator) prototype radiator has been designed, built and tested.<
