Quantum Radiation Energy Research Section

概要

Coherent-radiation energy with a wide wavelength tunability and a high power is an indispensable tool for exploiting cutting-edge science. The research in this section aims at generating and application of new quantum-radiation energy. Free-electron
laser (FEL) is one of such radiation. We have been
developing a mid-infrared FEL, KU-FEL. To extend
study field wider wavelength region, a coherent A
compact THz source, high Tc undulator for X-ray
generation, and Laser Compton Gamma-ray (LCS)
for isotope imaging have been carried out. Transdisciplinary research on renewable energy has also been
promoted through international collaborations.
Free-electron Laser
FEL is a next generation light source because of
its wide wavelength tunability where the conventional lasers cannot reach, potential high efficiency, and
high peak power. However, the system is usually
much larger and the cost is higher than conventional
lasers. We are going to overcome these difficulties by
exploiting an RF (radio-frequency) gun, a high Tc
undulator, etc. ...
