Physics of Superpulses in Storage Ring Free-Electron Lasers

Figure 3

Four Poincaré plots (electrons are red dots) in (δ, ζ) phase space during the superpulse (parameters are as in Figure 1). The clips show the ζ-profiles of the optical power (blue) with power scales 10 W for turn 1, 10 MW for turn 100, and 1 GW for turns 200 and 250. The Turn 200 plot has additional clip on the right with the FEL energy diffusion function. The RMS length of optical pulse is σ opt = 0.35 at turn 200. The circle and arrow show the trajectory of synchrotron motion for a particle with as = 10.
