Description

Coherent undulator radiation from pre-bunched electron beams can generate carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stable radiation pulses. Leveraging the development of multi-bunch concepts and pulse-by-pulse bunch shaping, we propose using CEP-stable coherent undulator radiation to seed the FEL instability and generate fully coherent phase-stable radiation pulses via double reflection. In this poster, we present theoretical calculations of this concept using the reciprocity theorem, as well as 3D numerical simulations using PUFFIN. We find two different regimes with different amplitude scaling behaviors determined by the angular distribution of the radiation relative to the central cone.
