AbstractThe effects of the phase variation, the evolution of the electron beam, the evolution of the radiation intensity, and the higher-order modes due to waveguides on a free-electron laser (FEL) oscillator have been analyzed by using two electron beams of different energies based on the proposed FEL facility which is to be operated in the far-infrared and infrared regions. The three-dimensional (3D) effects on a FEL oscillator due to waveguides and higher-order modes were studied using an extended 3D FEL code with two electron beams that we have developed. The effects of the variation on the amplitude of radiation on the electron beam's emittance and energy spreads were also calculated in the case of waveguide for multi-particle and multi-pass numbers by using a new 3D code. The phase variation, the variation in the beam envelope, the evolution of the amplitude, and power were calculated for the fundamental mode. The results were compared with those of the higher-order modes of the wiggler for various TE and TM modes for determining the FEL's performance which is required for high-quality electron beams.

AbstractWe have analyzed the effects of the wiggler error due to the electron beam's emittance, energy spreads, and higher-order modes in a free-electron laser (FEL) oscillator by using two electron beams of different energies based on the proposed FEL facility which is operated at a far-infrared and infrared regions. The three-dimensional (3D) effects in a FEL oscillator due to the wiggler error were calculated and an evaluation of the effect of the beam's emittance and energy spread was performed for the case of the coupled two-beam oscillator for phase shift errors and wiggler errors. The mode construction was studied on the higher-order modes of the wiggler for the various wiggler error parameters for FEL performance which is required for the high-quality electron beam. The radiation intensity at the fundamental mode was calculated for the rms phase shake in wiggler errors with sinus type, constant type, and parabolic type in the two-beam oscillator system using the 3D calculations. The results are compared with those of the fundamental modes without wiggler errors.
