High gain harmonic generation UV to DUV free electron lasers at the NSLS

In this paper, we present the calculation on the performance of High Gain Harmonic Generation (HGHG) UV to DUV Free Electron Lasers (FELs) at the NSLS. Based on the beam quality and the available undulators at the NSLS, the calculation shows that it is possible to produce fully coherent DUV FEL down to 500 Angstrom, with a peak power of several hundred Mega Watts. One further attractive feature is the possibility to produce ultra short radiation pulses based on such a HGHG scheme.
