Popis: The Los Alamos free-electron laser (FEL) facility has been modified by the replacement of the thermionic electron gun and bunchers with a 1300-MHz RF photoinjector. Two more accelerator tanks have been added to increase the beam energy to 40 MeV. Preliminary studies at 15 MeV have demonstrated excellent beam quality with a normalized emittance of 40 pi mm-mrad. The beam quality is sufficient to allow harmonic lasing in the visible. FEL experiments have been begun at a wavelength near 3 mu m. A report is presented of the performance of the photoinjector accelerator. >
