Topic: Undulators


  
  Magnetics Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The APS is continually being upgraded with new undulators, both to outfit new beamlines and to bring new capabilities or increased brightness to existing beamlines.
Undulator magnets are placed in various areas of the storage ring where the path would otherwise be straight.
To date 28 undulators have been installed to provide photons at energy levels required for specific experiments and plans are to install 11 more in the next few years, with more to come later as the remaining few beamline sectors are constructed and as existing beamlines are upgraded.

 SSRL: Wiggler and Undulator Magnets
The wigglers and undulators are inserted between the bending magnets, which keep the electrons traveling around the storage ring.
Wigglers or undulators (also known as insertion devices) produce synchrotron radiation that is considerably brighter than radiation from a bending magnet.
The deflections of the beam are smaller in an undulator than in a wiggler, and the radiation's brightness can, in theory, be increased by a factor about equal to the square of the number of oscillations, but only at discrete photon energies.

 The UE56 Double Helical Undulators at BESSY
The UE56 undulators at BESSY are elliptical polarizing insertion devices of the Apple-type.
At either end of the double undulator and in between the two undulator structures there are magnet structures, called chicane and modulator, respectively.
In the chicane mode the electrons are deflected such that the averaged trajectory in the upstream undulator points 200 µrad towards the outside, and the average trajectory in the downstream undulator points 200µrad towards the in side of the ring.

 Synchrotron Radiation
Undulators are periodic magnet structures that represent the state of the art in producing synchrotron radiation.
Undulators at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) cover the spectral range from 100-1000 eV photon energy, which contains the sharpest core level of each element.
Undulators at the Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC) are optimized for the 10-100 eV energy range, which represents the best energies for exciting the valence electrons.

 In-Vacuum undulators   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
If one considers now the radiation emitted by undulators, in order to cover easily a large energy range by tuning the gap the K value at the minimum gap should be at least 2.
The standard in-vacuum type undulator has a period length of 32 mm, and by using harmonics 1 to 5, it is possible to cover extensively energies from 5 to 80 keV.
Other devices are "in-vacuum", for example, the vertical in-vacuum undulator generating a horizontal magnetic field is also installed in the storage ring.

 In-Vacuum undulators
The vertical in-vacuum undulator generates a horizontal magnetic field, thus forcing the electron beam to oscillate in the vertical plane.
To generate a vertical field, the usual upper and lower arrays of magnets are divided in two, with left and right parts, for a total of 4 arrays.
At SPring-8, to enhance the horizontal uniformity of the magnetic field, the arrays the magnets are shaped with a gutter.

 THE UCSB FEL UNDULATORS
A permanent-magnet undulator technology, capable of generating extremely homogeneous magnetic fields, has been developed for the UCSB Free-Electron Lasers.
These undulators are based on the planar Hybrid configuration and employ a novel robotic adjustment procedure that results in three-dimensional control of field homogeneity.
The undulator adjustment mechanism is clearly visible as are recesseses in the resonator's vacuum chamber wall for the pole tips.

 Energy Citations Database (ECD) - Energy and Energy-Related Bibliographic Citations
Undulators for high-performance applications in synchrotron-radiation sources and periodic magnetic structures for free-electron lasers have stringent requirements on the curvature of the electron`s average trajectory.
Undulators using the permanent magnet hybrid configuration often have fields in their central region that produce a curved trajectory caused by local, ambient magnetic fields such as those of the earth.
Magnetic design, mechanical configuration of the flux shunts and magnetic measurements of their effect on the ALS undulators are described.

 [No title]
The major objective of this research is the observation of photons emitted with expected energy in a crystalline undulator, the measurement of the CU spectrum, the demonstration that the crystalline undulator works for the first time.
The X-ray tests of the crystal deformation due to given periodic pattern of surface scratches have shown that a sinusoidal-like shape is observed on both the scratched surface and the opposite (unscratched) face of the crystal, that is, a periodic sinusoidal-like deformation goes through the bulk of the crystal.
Further on, we optimized the CU manufacturing process and were able to produce a series of undulators with the following parameters: the length along the beam 1 to 5 mm, thickness across the beam 0.3 to 0.5 mm, 10 periods of oscillation with period of 0.1 to 0.5 mm [4].

 End pole configuration for segmented SASE undulators with variable gap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A SASE undulator in the 1 A wavelength regime requires a total length of several hundred meters to achieve saturation and, therefore, will be constructed in a modular way as a separated function device.
For the TESLA XFEL project one cell will consist of an about 4-5 m long undulator segment housing the magnetic structure, followed by one quadrupole and a set of correction coils.
We have investigated a possible end pole configuration of such a device which reduces the gap dependence of the field integrals to a minimum acceptable value.

 Undulators and Wigglers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The brightest synchrotron light at the ALS comes from undulators (located in the straight sections of the storage ring) that contain over one hundred magnetic poles lined up in rows above and below the electron beam.
Although they are about 4.5 meters long and weigh about 40,000 pounds, the undulators have to be built to extreme precision.
The photo shows one undulator installed in a straight section of the storage ring (lower left), and another undulator being moved above the storage ring shielding to its final location in another part of the ring.

 ALSNews Vol. 153 May 24, 2000
Klaus Halbach, the Berkeley Lab physicist whose idea for permanent-magnet undulators ushered in the era of third-generation synchrotrons, died on May 11, 2000, at his home in Berkeley, following a long battle with prostate cancer.
Klaus's most famous invention, the permanent-magnet undulator, is the essential driving technology behind third-generation synchrotrons such as the ALS.
Unlike electromagnets, permanent-magnet undulators require neither expensive electrical power nor space-consuming coils to produce their powerful magnetic fields.

 Simulation Helps Design Undulators To Lift Advanced Photon Source Usefulness
We care about that field because we don't want sections of the magnet blocks demagnetizing, and because it correlates with susceptibility to radiation damage."

 More Information
Many short amplitude wigglers in succession serve to concentrate the radiation spatially in a narrow cone, and spectrally in a narrow frequency interval.
A multi-period wiggler such as this is called an undulator, and undulator and wiggler devices are generically known as insertion devices as they are inserted in a free straight section of the storage ring.
This book contains a detailed presentation of the radiation produced by insertion devices, the engineering and associated beamline instrumentation, and some scientific applications.

 Insertion Device Calculations with Mathematica -- from Mathematica Information Center
The design of accelerator insertion devices such as wigglers and undulators has usually been aided by numerical modeling on digital computers, using code in high level languages like Fortran.
In the present era, there are higher level programming environments like IDL, MatLab, and Mathematica in which these calculations may be performed by writing much less code, and in which standard mathematical techniques are very easily used.
These routines include a simple way to generate magnetic fields using blocks of CSEM materials, trajectory solutions from the Lorentz force equations for given magnetic fields, Bessel function calculations of radiation for wigglers and undulators and general radiation calculations for undulators.
