Research abstract
X-ray Free Electron Laser in an Oscillator configuration (XFELO) offers significant advantages over single pass machines, including an enhanced spectral brightness and potentially improved output stability- However, a poor outcoupling efficiency of the X-ray optical resonators (< 4%), represents a significant practical limitation of the XFELO output in a low gain regime- In response to this problem, RadiaBeam Technologies and UCLA are proposing to consider a high gain per pass XFELO similar to a regenerative amplifier FEL- In particular, it is planned to study TESSA (Tapering Enhanced Stimulated Superradiant Amplification) high efficiency strongly tapered undulator embedded into the optical cavity, which carries the promise to increase XFELO output by over an order of magnitude-
