A laser (standing for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is a device which produces electromagnetic radiation, often visible light, using the process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of photons within a so-called gain medium. The emitted laser light is notable for its high degree of spatial and temporal coherence, unattainable using other technologies.– Spatial coherence typically is expressed through the output being a
narrow beam which is diffraction-limited, often a so-called "pencil beam."
– Temporal (or longitudinal) coherence implies a polarized wave at a single frequency whose phase is correlated over a relatively large distance (the coherence length) along the beam.

SASE FEL
– Starts from undulator Spontaneous Emission random startup from shot noise intrinsically a chaotic polarized light, e.g., in the linear exponential growth regime, the FEL energy fluctuation distribution falls on a g-distribution function

Reason for wide bandwidth: coherent length shorter than the entire pulse length– Decrease the entire pulse length low
charge, single spike– Increase the coherent length seeding
with coherent length to be about the entire pulse length

For a transform limited Gaussian photon beam
– For flat top– Gaussian pulse, at 1.5 Å, if Ipk= 3 kA, Q = 250 pC, sz 10 mm, then transform limit is: sw/w0 10-6
– LCLS normal operation bandwidth on order of 10-3
Improve longitudinal coherence, and reduce the bandwidth improve the spectral brightnessThe coherent seed after the monochromator should be longer than the electron bunch; otherwise SASE will mix with Seeded FEL

Reaching a single coherent spike? – Low charge might reach this, but bandwidth will be broad
Narrow band, “relatively long” pulse Self-Seeding.In the following, we focus on 250-pC case with a “relatively” long bunch, and look for “narrower” bandwidth and “good” temporal coherenceFor shorter wavelength (< 1 nm), single spike is not easy to reach, but self-seeding is still possible
Single Spike vs Self-Seeding

Seeding the second undulator (vs. single undulator followed by x-ray optics)– Power loss in monochromator is recovered in the second
undulator (FEL amplifier)– Peak power after first undulator is less than saturation
power damage to optics is reduced
Two-Stage FEL with Monochromator
With the same saturated peak power, but with two-orders of magnitude bandwidth reduction, the peak brightness is increased by two-orders of magnitude
![Page 17: Self-seeding Free Electron Lasers](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816376550346895dd454e9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

For hard x-ray, crystals working in the Bragg geometry can serve as the monochromator– Original proposal invokes 4 crystals to form the photon
monochromator, which introduces a large optical delay a large chicane has to introduce for the electron to have the same amount of delay is not favored.
– Two electron bunch scheme – More recent proposal uses single diamond crystal the
monochromatized wake as a coherent seed
