Description

The APPLE-KNOT undulator forms composite magnetic fields by superimposing APPLE and KNOT fields with different period lengths. In this configuration, in which the APPLE field serves as the dominant component to approximate the target photon energy, while the KNOT field acts as an additional component to transversely deflect the electron beam off-axis. Although variable polarization modes can be realized with a low on-axis heat load, previous studies have observed a sharp reduction in flux and significant degradation of the polarization degree in the circular polarization (CP) mode. This paper discusses this phenomenon in detail from a theoretical perspective. The analysis reveals that the presence of an additional field with a longer period is the essence factor that inherently suppresses the radiation performance of CP mode. Theoretical findings are highly consistent with simulation results, demonstrating that selecting the KNOT field as the dominant component can effectively improve CP characteristics without significantly compromising the linear polarization performance.
