Abstract
A light source system, preferably including one or more electron inputs, splitters, recombiners, and/or electron outputs, and optionally including one or more accelerator modules, input transports, radiator modules, and/or output transports. The system can optionally include one or more ancillary elements (e.g., electron optics elements). A method of operation, preferably including operating in a normal mode and/or operating in a backup mode.
Claims20
A light source system comprising:
- a first kicker configured to:
- receive an input electron beam comprising a plurality of electron bunches;
- and
- deflect electron bunches of the electron beam substantially within a first plane, thereby spatially separating the input electron beam into a first plurality of electron beams;
- a second kicker configured to:
- receive the first plurality of electron beams;
- and
- deflect electron bunches of the first plurality of electron beams substantially within a second plane, thereby spatially separating the first plurality of electron beams into a second plurality of electron beams;
- and
- a septum configured to:
- receive a subset of the second plurality of electron beams;
- and
- deflect electron beams of the subset substantially within the second plane.
