Abstract
In this paper, we report first lasing results in the near-UV and visib le spectral ranges with the OK-4/Duke storage ring - the first storage ring FEL operating in the United Slates. The OK-4/Duke FEL was commis sioned in November 1996 and demonstrated lasing in the 345-413 nm rang e with extracted power of 0.15 W. In addition to lasing, the OK-4/Duke FEL generated a nearly monochromatic (1% FWHM) gamma-ray beams. In th is paper, we describe initial performance of the OK-4/Duke storage rin g FEL and gamma-ray source in this demonstration experiment. We briefl y discuss the present status of the project and its future user progra m. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
