Abstract
The construction and the development of an UV free electron laser at N arashino Campus, Nihon U. have been started under the cooperation of N ihon U., KEK(1), PNC2, ETL(3) and Tohoku U. The project requires a 125 MeV S-band electron linear accelerator to expand the oscillation of F EL to the UV region using fundamental mode. The injection system consi sts of a thermionic RF-gun with a LaB6, cathode and a magnet for magne tic bunching. We are studying to reduce the back-bombarding electrons to realize the macropulse length of 20 mu s. Electron beams, up to the energy of 125 MeV, are injected into the optical cavity. Changing the accelerating energy and/or undulator parameters, this system will cov er the range from infrared to ultraviolet for the applications in the various fields.
