Description
An accelerator-based mid-infrared (MIR) and terahertz (THz) free-electron laser (FEL) light source has been developed at Chiang Mai University, Thailand, along with experimental stations for high-field irradiation, spectroscopy, and ultrafast interaction studies. The 25-MeV linear accelerator system, serving as the electron beam injector, has been extended to support two newly developed MIR/THz FEL beamlines. Engineering and construction of the magnetic bunch compressors and FEL components were based by physics design and essential beam dynamic simulations. Currently, the commissioning of the accelerator system and its beamlines is underway. Integrated with femtosecond Ti-sapphire laser technology, the facility aims to be a user-accessible ultrafast IR/THz laser facility in Thailand. Offering cutting-edge tools for spectroscopy, imaging, and irradiation, it supports advanced research in material science, biotechnology, and medicine while serving as a training center for accelerator and ultrafast laser technologies. This unique facility will become a regional pioneer in the future.
