Method and apparatus for generating super hard laser radiation

摘要

In a method of generating a super hard laser, uniformization of the energy of an electron beam (1) in an electron storage ring and formation of a pulse of the electron beam (1) through gyration phase bunching are simultaneously performed so as to convert the stored electron beam (1) into a coherent electron beam having a high degree of time coherence. A laser beam is projected in a direction opposite to the traveling direction of the coherent electron beam so as to induce coherent Compton scattering (CCS) of the laser beam. With this operation, a super hard laser (10) such as a CCS X-ray or a CCS gamma -ray can be generated.
