Description

Hefei Infrared Free-Electron Laser device (IR-FEL) is a user experimental device dedicated to energy chemistry research that can generate high brightness mid/far infrared lasers. It is driven by an S-band linear accelerator with a maximum electron energy of 60 MeV. The stability of the final output laser is determined by the energy stability and spread of the electron beam, and the Low-Level RF control system (LLRF) is opitimized to improve the energy stability of the electron beam. There are two klystrons in the linear accelerator of IR-FEL, and the periodic oscillation of out power output of the klytrons is existed (approximately ± 0.2%~2% for amplitude). The oscillation period of two klystrons are exchanged in the case of exchanging the filament power supplies of two klystrons. The pulse-to-pulse feedforward and in-pulse feedback algorithm are developed to compensate the periodic fluctuations of the output power of the klystrons, and the IQ demodulation is changed to the Non-IQ demodulation (13/3) to separate and suppress the odd harmonic. After the optimization, the stability of klystron output signal has been improved from 0.12%/0.07° (rms) to 0.04%/0.09° (rms).
