An equipotential-bus electromagnetic undulator has been developed for
a far infrared compact free-electron laser. It has 2 m length, 5.6 mm
gap, and 12.5 mm period. The field distribution along the undulator is
formed by 2.25 mm thick poles of low-carbon steel with 4 mm thick Nd-
Fe-B permanent magnets between them. The amplitude of the magnetic fie
ld is up to 6 kG. The variation of current allows us to vary the field
amplitude within 10% in a constant gap. For the distribution of the p
eak amplitude along the undulator we obtained random r.m.s. deviation
less than 0.5% without further field correction or individual adjustme
nt of each iron pole or magnet. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig
