Description
The Siam Photon Source (SPS) in Thailand has been in operation for synchrotron radiation users since 2003. Since the light obtained from the synchrotron light source is the high-intensity radiation in the range from the infrared to high-energy X-rays, it has great attention in many areas of scientific research and industrial development. However, a wide variety of applications covering terahertz (THz) region needs to be fulfilled. The THz region covering the frequency range from 0.1 to 10 THz is a rich zone for various fields of research and industrial applications. Therefore, a compact accelerator based free-electron laser (FEL) with providing an intense THz radiation is particularly interesting. A high-power THz radiation source needs to be studied and developed to achieve the intense THz radiation at tunable frequencies between 0.5 THz and 5.0 THz, with a peak power of several megawatts (MWs) and narrow bandwidth. Design for high-power THz radiation source will be described and detailed in this paper.
