Abstract

The lasers and conventional optics used in charged-particle beam x-ray free electron laser photo-injectors are designed using fundamentally the same techniques for decades. We present a novel method for the generation and conditioning of the UV laser used for electron generation via photoemission that can enhance electron beam and X-ray performance. Additionally, we discuss laser-based spatio-temporal shaping and conditioning of electron beam phase space in order to selectively promote lasing operational modes.
