Description
n recent years the interest in high intensity, short-pulse coherent THz radi-
ation for non-linear experimental research and applications grew with upcoming
high intensity lasers. In contrast to lasers, accelerators provide free electrons
for which emission properties can be tailored to the demand at typically much
higher repetition rates than high-intensity lasers can provide. Efforts are ongo-
ing to augment short-bunch accelerators such as the European XFEL with THz
radiation sources such as undulators.
At the far-infrared linac and test experiment (FLUTE) at KIT, we can facil-
itate experiments to investigate coherent THz radiation from different sources
and provide short electron bunches. As an additional THz source, a supercon-
ducting undulator can be inserted and investigated.
In this contribution, we evaluate the opportunities of this THz undulator at
FLUTE for linear accelerators and FELs in terms of photon science and beam
dynamics.
