Description

X-ray Free-Electron Laser Oscillators (XFELOs) utilize Bragg crystal-based x-ray cavities to generate high-brightness x-ray pulses with ultra-fine bandwidth. The successful realization of XFELOs would greatly benefit high-resolution photon-hungry experiments, such as nuclear resonant scattering and inelastic x-ray scattering. Existing XFELO proposals, constrained by either the electron beam repetition rate or limited single-pass gain in the undulator, typically require long undulators and long cavities. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of a compact XFELO design, utilizing the 6-meter straight sections of a Diffraction Limited Storage Ring (DLSR) and a cavity path length well below 100 meters. We show that sufficient single-pass gain can be achieved by optimizing the undulator and electron beam parameters. We present the projected performance of the proposed scheme based on the parameters of the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) and discuss the practical challenges associated with its implementation.
