Abstract
A low inductance magnetic wiggler for use in electron beam type lasers generates a high intensity spatially periodic magnetic field. The wiggler is formed as a plurality of closed conductive loops having their centers spaced along a common axis. Adjacent loops are connected by a conductor extending parallel to the axis, the connecting conductors being positioned alternately on diametrically opposite sides of the loops.
Claims5
A low inductance wiggler for an electron beam laser comprising:
- a plurality of annular conductors having their centers spaced along a common axis, and a plurality of straight conductors, each pair of adjacent annular conductors being connected by one of said straight conductors, the straight conductors extending parallel to said axis and being alternately positioned on diametrically opposite sides of said axis.
A low-inductance magnetic wiggler for a free electron laser comprising an electrical conductor for conducting a current, the conductor being formed with successive portions extending alternately parallel to and transverse to a common axis, the transverse portions having openings therethrough, the openings of the transverse portions being aligned along said common axis.
