Description
This talk will outline the potential for commercially available, hollow-core, anti-resonant optical fibers to overcome many of the challenges in creating monochromatic and coherent x-ray sources with laser-electron beam interactions. The differences between inverse Compton scattering and laser undulators will be explored and the immense difficulty in creating a laser undulator outlined. A proposed innovation is to utilize modern day, commercial hollow-core fiber optics to confine the laser and potentially allow for a laser-undulator to be constructed with current state of the art lasers and electron beams. Models of this externally confined laser undulator concept will be presented and plans for upcoming experiments shown.
