Abstract :
Free-electron laser oscillation has been achieved with a multibunch electron beam generated with the 38 MeV L-band linear accelerator at The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research in Osaka University. The wavelengths of the observed FEL are 32 to 40 μm for energies of the electron beams of 17 to 19 MeV. The macropulse length of the beam is 1.8 μs. The net FEL gain measured at a wavelength of 40 μm is 25%. The tuning range of the length of the optical cavity and the FEL spectra have also been measured. The total output FEL energy of 12 mJ has been obtained in the recent experiments at a wavelength of 40μm. The intracavity peak power of the FEL is estimated to be about 150 MW.
