Generation of coherent far infra-red radiation utilising a planar undulator at the 4GLS prototype

An Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) Prototype facility to be built at Daresbury Laboratory serves as a testbed for the study of beam dynamics and accelerator technology important for the design and construction of the 4th Generation Light Source (4GLS). This paper describes the possibility of utilising a planar undulator at the 4GLS prototype facility for the generation of coherent synchrotron radiation in the far infra-red region.
