Abstract :
During the past year, generation characteristics of the Novisibirsk terahertz free electron laser were growing up. It generates now coherent radiation tunable in the range 120-170 μm at the repetition rate of 2.8-11.2 MHz. Maximum average output power reaches 400 W at 11.2 MHz. Laser radiations are transmitted through a 14-m optical beamline to the user stations. Experiments on chemistry, biology, spectroscopy, imaging and holography with employment of terahertz radiation are in progress.
